Comments on: TJX Revises Consumer Settlement, Agrees To Pay Cash http://storefrontbacktalk.com/securityfraud/tjx-revises-consumer-settlement-agrees-to-pay-cash/ Techniques, Tools and Tirades about Retail Technology and E-Commerce Sun, 20 May 2012 01:49:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Evan Schuman http://storefrontbacktalk.com/securityfraud/tjx-revises-consumer-settlement-agrees-to-pay-cash/comment-page-1/#comment-18983 Evan Schuman Wed, 10 Oct 2007 02:37:04 +0000 http://www.storefrontbacktalk.com/securityfraud/tjx-revises-consumer-settlement-agrees-to-pay-cash/#comment-18983 Editor's Note: Actually, TJX's proposed settlement has its own area for whatever time a consumer can prove was spent chasing down things to fix the credit problem. But it had a low cap (http://storefrontbacktalk.com/story/092207TJXsettlement.php) <i>and</i> it assumed that consumers' time was worth only $10/hour. One lawyer involved defended the hourly, saying that it was presumably time spent at home that would not have otherwise been billed at a corporate rate. Maybe.

They won't have my size, or anything I like anyway! And now, perhaps, the time money I had to spend to get a new credit card and number, repair anything that may have automatically used the old number, etcetera, is worth $15? What is that per hour? 37 cents? I am totally disgusted. At least the lawyers are happy. RW Oh, this is a total crock. $30 vouchers for merchandise that already didn’t sell at ‘suggested retail’?
