This comprehensive article details the background, eligibility criteria, payout amounts, and step-by-step instructions for filing your claim. If you’ve received unsolicited robocalls, incurred unexplained fees, or suffered financial harm due to Credit One Bank’s practices, you may be entitled to compensation under this landmark settlement.
Background: Why Was There a Credit One Bank Class Action Lawsuit?
Credit One Bank, a major U.S. credit card issuer, faced multiple lawsuits in recent years over alleged unfair and illegal practices. The core allegations include:
- Unauthorized robocalls to consumers’ cell phones without consent, violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
- Inaccurate credit and loan reporting
- Inflated and unexplained fees
- Poor customer service and unresolved complaints
- Identity mishandling and unauthorized charges
The lawsuits stemmed from thousands of consumer complaints between 2014 and 2025, with the most prominent claims involving robocalls made between 2014 and 2019.
Settlement Amounts: How Much Is the Credit One Bank Settlement Worth?
Credit One Bank has agreed to multiple settlements in 2025, with the most widely reported being the $14 million TCPA settlement. Here’s a breakdown of the main settlement funds and potential payouts:
| Settlement Fund | Allegation Type | Payout Range per Person | Key Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| $14 Million | Unauthorized robocalls (TCPA) | $100 – $1,000 | Received calls 2014–2019, no prior consent |
| Up to $2,210 | Financial harm, fees, reporting | Up to $2,210 | Proof of financial loss, identity issues, etc. |
- After legal fees and costs, about $8–$9 million from the $14 million TCPA settlement is available for distribution.
- The exact payout per person depends on the number of valid claims and the documentation provided. Those with stronger evidence (such as phone records or proof of financial harm) may receive higher payouts.
- Some settlements for financial harm and identity issues may provide up to $2,210 per eligible claimant, but require more substantial documentation.
