COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
LYCOMING COUNTY
A Pennsylvania Court has authorized this notice.
You may be entitled to receive a settlement payment, deletion of negative credit reporting, and cancellation of any deficiency balance
in connection with a class action against Brenner Car Credit, LLC and Paxton Securities Co.
-
You do not need to take any action to receive the benefits of the settlement. Read the Notice carefully.
-
This settlement resolves a lawsuit over whether Brenner Car Credit, LLC and Paxton Securities Co. (collectively, "Brenner") sent its
Pennsylvania borrowers proper notice of their rights after vehicle repossession.
-
Brenner denies and disputes the claims asserted in the Litigation. The parties disagree about whether any money (and if so, how much)
could have been awarded to you if the Plaintiffs were to prevail at trial. The settlement avoids the cost and risks to members of the class
(like you) from continuing with the lawsuit, and provides relief to the Class.
-
This settlement will: (a) provide a gross fund of $1,200,000.00 to be distributed to Class Members after payment of administrative
costs, Class Counsel fees and costs, and service awards to Plaintiffs, and (b) require Brenner to adjust certain credit reporting in
accordance with the proposed Class Action Settlement Agreement.
-
Your rights are affected whether you act or not. Read the Notice carefully.
