It is just giving your hard earned money away not to sign the simple agreement for the below. The settlement now appears to be about 4%-6% of your dollar volume of credit cards processed in the last eight years. Documentation is only required in very large claims which I can provide if necessary.
So that would be about $3,000-$4,000 for every million dollars of total volume over the last eight years or so!
If you haven’t signed up yet contact Marc below as soon as possible. T 1 212 805 7210 C 1 917 957 2082 email Marc.Rosenberg@srgllc.com
The settlement is higher than originally projected! Visa and MasterCard have agreed to a $7.25 billion settlement.
Please read the below and contact my friend Marc. He will file a placeholder claim, which will reserve your company a spot in the settlement, while working with the claims administrator to maximize your total refund. There are no upfront fees and no compensation due unless your claim is funded.
This letter is to notify you that your company is eligible for a refund in the Payment Card Interchange Fee Settlement. If your organization accepted Visa and/or MasterCard Credit and/or Debit Cards in the United States at any time from and after January 1, 2004, you are entitled to monetary compensation. Your company would be compensated based on your processed credit card transactions. The projected settlement payout is now over $7 billion.
Settlement Recovery Group is a leading class action claims filing service, to prepare and submit claims on behalf of our members in the Visa/MasterCard Interchange Fee Settlement. Settlement Recovery Group has agreed to provide its services to our clients at a reduced contingency fee of recovered settlement funds. There are no up-front costs. If Settlement Recovery Group is unable to recover funds on your behalf, then it does not get compensated for its efforts.
Below is a brief description of the class action settlement:
Plaintiffs allege that, between January 1, 2004 and the present, Defendants Visa, MasterCard and several banks including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup conspired to artificially inflate the prices of interchange fees that merchants’ acquiring banks pay to customers’ issuing banks in a credit or debit card transaction. Since the interchange fees are inflated, the discount fees merchants pay to accept card payments are in turn artificially high, and various rules prevent merchants from challenging the inflated fees.
If you have any questions regarding the settlement or would like to file a claim, please contact our representatives at Settlement Recovery Group for more information:

Are you aware of these guys? Their latest piece is at http://onlinedigitalpublishing.com/publication/?i=105506&goback=.gde_152259_member_109412591

Ticketbrokers aren’t the problem. They create a secondary market and for the most part operate on a very small margin taking great risk from fraudulent credit cards and little support from card issuing banks allowing their cardholders to try and chargeback purchases when its obvious the cardholder is being dishonest. Also if you are a season ticket holder or anyone else that must sell tickets you own then you realize that they do indeed serve a very useful purpose.
I should add that they did reply to me ” if transactions are transparent and fans are protected, the resale market can be a great way to exchange tickets. Our efforts are focused on predatory scalpers who use methods like bots to gain an unfair advantage over regular fans.” But their published rhetoric does seem different referring to ticketbrokers as scalpers, etc.
Just wanted you to be aware of them in case you didn’t know about them. I personally have signed up so I can counter them everytime they put out misleading info. Maybe we all should.

Hi Tim,
Enjoyed your book “Through My Eyes” and admire the evangelical zeal of you & your wonderful family very much! However there is one thing I’d like to discuss with you. I read in the book that you often say when witnessing “Take Jesus into your heart.” While this sounds nice its not going to get anyone to heaven. Its basically a misquote of Revelation 3:20. There is only one way as you know to get to heaven and that’s through the blood of Jesus. No matter what religion you are you can be ASSURED of going to heaven if you’ll just stop and pray the following to God and mean it.
-Christ died for all of my sins past, present and future and paid for them with His blood (John 3:16)
-good works won’t get me there (Ephesians 2:8-9)
-now that I’m saved I can never lose my salvation (John 10:28-29)
Also I notice that in your book you quote the NASB version of the Bible. In the KJV all except five verses have been proven to be original scripture. We know that God’s words have infinitely more power than ours. The KJV is God’s Word. The NASB and others is man’s words.
Humbly submitted,
Bill Hoidas
