  Rust Consulting is in receipt of complaint #********,which relates to the settlement of Sow ******************* *** 21-cv-00533 (S.D.N.Y.). Rust specializes in the administration of class action settlements and similar programs involving notification, contact centers, claims processing, and fund distribution. Rust is a neutral third-party administrator and was engaged to carry out certain administrative aspects of the settlement as established by the parties and to answer questions.
  
  Rust has been in touch with the complainant directly about the issue with the digital payment provider. She understands the process by which we can provide her with a physical check: the funds must be returned to Rust first, and then we will issue her a physical check, which we expect to mail approximately 30 days from our receipt of the funds.
  
  Rust adheres strictly to the law in our handling of settlement funds. We have administered over ***** cases and distributed over $35 billion in settlement funds throughout our 45 years in the legal administration industry, under the supervision of our clients as well as the relevant courts. Rust does not--and could not--minimize, delay, or deny payments to keep class members' funds. Our work, including the distribution of funds, is done according to the terms and timelines of each settlement and under the supervision of courts and the parties to those settlements.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  I spoke with pay pal & they said they do not have any funds & its against their policy to keep anyones funds ,especially to hold it for 30 days.If a payment is declined for security reasons that means it was never charged so they never took any money.even if they charged the payment method they would immediately return it & the most amount of time it could take to reach the senders bank is 5-7 business days.This is what i was told by numerous pay pal supervisors.I cant even find anything online about pay pal holding anyone else's money for 30 days. This makes no sense & im not sure what rust consulting is up to but i wont let them get away with it.i have been told lie after lie & given the run around.everytime i call rust i hear something different.they will tell me one thing just to shut me up & get me to stop calling & the next day its something different.

  **** is in receipt of the follow-up to complaint #********. We cannot speak to the discussions between the complainant and PayPal. Our previous response is accurate: we will begin the process of issuing her a physical check once we have received the funds from PayPal. Rust is required to adhere to the terms of the Court-approved settlement agreement and we appreciate her patience as we proceed under the supervision of the parties and the Court.

  Rust is in receipt of complaint #********, which relates to the settlement of ***** v.****************, No. 17 Civ. **** (S.D.N.Y.). Rust is a neutral third-party administrator specializing in the administration of class action settlements and similar programs involving notification, contact centers,claims processing, and fund distribution. Under the supervision of our clients as well as the relevant courts, we have administered over ***** cases and distributed over $20 billion in settlement funds throughout our 45 years in the legal administration industry. **** was engaged to carry out certain administrative aspects of this settlement as established by the parties and to answer class members questions.
  
  Rust mailed the complainants original settlement check on September 22, 2023, to the address he indicated on his claim form. When he called to inform us that he did not receive the check, we voided it and mailed a reissue on November 15, 2023, to the same address, as the complainant had not provided any updates to his address on file.
  
  He called again to inform us that he did not receive the reissued check, and on that call, provided Rust with a new mailing address to use. The reissued check has been voided; it will be reissued again and mailed to his updated address with the next batch of check reissues, expected to mail in late February or early March.
  
  Rust issues payments in batches -- ranging from thousands to millions -- to facilitate efficiency. This necessitates delays which we understand class members may find unacceptable. However, we cannot individually handle or expedite mailings without delaying and risking errors to overall administration.

  Rust made multiple attempts to have the complainants check delivered to the correct address.

The complainant called Rust on February 24 to provide an updated address, and requested on March 2 that her check be reissued to that address. The reissued check was mailed on March 15 to the updated address that the complainant provided; we have reviewed our call logs and confirmed that the check was correctly mailed to the address (on **********, in ******, *****) that was indicated on the call. The reissued check was not returned to Rust as undeliverable.

  **** is in receipt of the follow up to complaint #********.**** mailed the complainant's requested check reissue on March 15 to the address that she provided. She was told to allow 4-6 weeks for the reissue to arrive. We did not hear from her again within that time frame, nor was the reissued check returned to Rust as undeliverable. The void date for the reissued checks was May 14, and all uncashed funds were transferred to the cy pres recipient on June 16, as stipulated in the parties' settlement agreement and approved by the court (not as a matter of choice by ****). Rust has adhered to the terms of the settlement agreement in this matter, as we are bound to do.We are no longer in control of the settlement funds and are unable to reissue payments.

  I received an email from the federal trade commission about the settlement in regards to federal trade commission vs ********************* in September 2023. Basically email stated I was receiving an update on settlement since I was sent a check. Says on website average check for $337, and individuals were sent two checks. And phone number to call. Called several times with long wait. Finally got through and was told to email them since both checks were sent to wrong address. Still havent heard anything back. Also when I asked customer service how much the check was for she said $90. And backtracked and said technically the same check was reissued to the same wrong address even though it was sent back. Seems like too many issues with this company

  Rust Consulting is in receipt of complaint #********,which relates to the settlement of ************************ v. *** *********************, No. 2:19-cv-05772 (D. **.). Rust specializes in the administration of class action settlements and similar programs involving notification, contact centers, claims processing, and fund distribution. Rust is a neutral third-party administrator and was engaged to carry out certain administrative aspects of the settlement as established by the parties and to answer class members questions.
  
  Class members were paid proportionally based on what they paid the defendants; the $300 figure cited is an average, with some receiving more and others less. *** complainants initial check mailed in March of 2021 to the address Rust had on file. It was returned as undeliverable, but because **** was not able to obtain an updated address via trace (standard industry procedure in settlements like this), an attempt was made to remail the check to the same address in February of 2022. *** remailed check was never cashed and was not returned as undeliverable.
  
  *** complainant first contacted Rust about the payment in September of 2023. As directed by the parties, **** is currently in the process of a second distribution of the settlement funds to class members who cashed their initial checks. We confirm receipt of the complainants reissue request; we are in contact directly with her and will follow up with her regarding the possibility of issuing a payment based on the funds that remain (if any) after the second distribution is complete.

  This is the actual complaint some how there was a mistake and my complaint to BBB was submitted improperly.The RUST CONSULTING in relation to GREENSKY is at c/o Rust Consulting *** PO Box **** ********* ** 55021-9603 and this too could be a bogus address since this is a different address then what you have listed and I did not see any way to correct it.So on July 5th 2023 I received a letter from Rust Consulting *** stating they had determined I was eligible for redress and compensation based on their investigation in relation to GREENSKY/HUMAN TOUCH from 2017. However Rust Consulting must have forgot to make out a refund check that I am entitled to based on their own written words. I expect to be sent a refund for the total amount which is $13,000 based on the improper acts by HUMAN TOUCH and ********. I will recontact ************************************** of the principal investigators who contacted me when the investigation began 4 years ago if this does not get corrected as it should be. I expect Rust Consulting *** to honor their own letter and send out a the refund and not try to keep the funds that belong to me that were improperly paid to HUMAN TOUCH and GREENSKY.Thank you

  Rust Consulting is in receipt of complaint #******* regarding a settlement reached between the ************************************ and GreenSky LLC. Rust specializes in the administration of class action settlements and similar programs involving notification, contact centers,claims processing, and fund distribution. Rust is a neutral third-party administrator and was engaged to carry out certain administrative aspects of the settlement and to answer questions.
  
  Rust is one of two administrators engaged by the **** for this project. *************** was responsible for determining class memberseligibility for the different forms of relief available under the settlement. **** is responsible for providing class member support as well as mailing outreach and redress notification letters and checks to those determined to be eligible for payments.
  
  On March 31, 2023, we mailed the complainant a letter indicating that, based on review of the facts and circumstances, they were determined to be eligible for credit redress. This means that their GreenSky loan associated with the merchant, Human Touch, is being canceled and the relevant tradeline is being deleted from their consumer credit report. Contrary to the complaint, the letter did not say the claimant was due a check, and Rust did not forget to include a check.
  
  We have no information about the complainants eligibility or ineligibility for any other form of relief, but the administrator who made their determination can be contacted directly at **********************************************************.
  
  We would also clarify that Rust handles hundreds of projects simultaneously and we establish a different PO Box for each individual project to receive incoming mail for that project. We also maintain multiple physical office locations.

   I am rejecting this response because:

  They have no right to keep a valid chargeback I am owed based on the written acknowledgement

  that compensation is owed to me by the Greensky Administrator.. Rust Consulting ****

  has been subject to several consumer complaints, The company has been accused of poor communication, delayed payments, and
  unprofessional behavior and rude customer service. I consider the response here to my complaint extremely rude especially about

  the forgotten check to be sent as the Greensky Admin sight states that checks were mailed out March 31 2023 and Rusts response here says

  they sent out a "Notice on March 31 2023". Well I never got that because there is a new mailing address and this means that the check

  was returned and I know I have a payment due based on the contents on that letter. So this matter is now a taxable event for Rust Consulting

  and will be reported to the *** and the Federal Reserve.

  Rust Consulting is in receipt of the follow-up to complaint #*******. Please note the correct spelling of the administrators email address: [email protected] is a typo in the email address that the complainant indicated was unsuccessful. We have sent multiple test emails to this address and confirmed receipt.
  
  We would emphasize that Rust is not keeping any money otherwise due to this complainant. The checks that the website refers to were mailed to class members who were eligible for that form of relief, and the complainant per the administrators determination is not one of them. No check in the complainants name was returned to Rust; no such check was issued in the first place. The notice they received explained the form of relief (credit redress) for which they are eligible. If the complainant wishes to contest this determination, they will need to contact the administrator at the email address provided above and provide a written explanation along with documentation to support their position.

  Rust Consulting is in receipt of complaint #********,which relates to the settlement of ******************* Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft and *** of ***** *******,No. 2:17-cv-07386. Rust specializes in the administration of class action settlements and similar programs involving notification, contact centers,claims processing, and fund distribution. Rust is a neutral third-party administrator and was engaged to carry out certain administrative aspects of the settlement as established by the parties and to answer questions.
  
  There are multiple issues with this claim. 1) The dates on the documentation suggest that the repair was not completed by the effective date of June 30, 2021, as required. 2) The settlement only provides reimbursement for an engine that failed due to a failure of the timing chain or oil pump drive chain modules. There is no cause for engine failure indicated in the complainants documentation.
  
  The initial claim was adjudicated as deficient and Rust gave the complainant two opportunities to provide additional information. The additional documents still did not provide enough information to process the claim. **** mailed the complainant a denial letter on 05/10/2023 which explains her right to file an appeal to have her claim reviewed again by Counsel for both plaintiff and defense. If they disagree, a special master may make a final determination.
  
  The settlement requires that Rust review claims and then send them to *** for a final review. In a complex case like this with a large class and review required by multiple parties, it can take some time before we are able to respond to claimants. The processing times described in the complaint are standard for this type of settlement. We have not received any email correspondence from the complainant.
  
  The complainant should follow the court-approved appeal process described in her denial letter if she believes her claim has been denied in error or if she has additional information to provide.
