The Claim:

This class action was commenced on September 9, 2003. The law firms Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein LLP and Koskie Minsky LLP are class counsel.

The claim alleges that MBNA receives interest at a criminal rate in certain circumstances as a result of the flat fees it charges in respect of cash advances. Damages are sought on behalf of the class for repayment of the interest paid that exceeds the criminal rate. An injunction is also sought to compel MBNA to stop receiving interest at a criminal rate.
