Game system owners could see money back

Posted
How would you like to make some money back for something you've already purchased?
 
Three class action lawsuit settlements involving Wells Fargo, Toyota and the makers of DVD drives could mean money back for you. That's if you bought a certain product and did business with the companies during a certain period of time.
 
One settlement involves the makers of optical drives, including Hitachi, Panasonic, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony and Pioneer. A lawsuit alleged that those businesses were involved with price fixing to keep prices of the drives artificially high.
 
If you bought from the companies, and not from retail third party stores, between 2004 and 2011, you could qualify for up to $73 back. The deadline to file a claim is March 7.
 
The manufacturers denies any wrongdoing. Learn more about theoptical drive settlement.
 
Another lawsuit alleged certain 2009 and 2010 Toyota Corolla models had a power steering issue that made them veer to one side.
 
A settlement means owners can get up to $695 back if they had the Electronic Control Unit returned. Or you can get the installation done through Toyota. The deadline to file is March 15.
 
Toyota denies any wrongdoing. Learn more about the Toyota settlement.
 
If you fell behind on a Wells Fargo mortgage, there could be money for you. A lawsuit claimed Wells improperly charged people for property inspections and hid those fees by calling them something else.
 
The charges allegedly happened between 2004 and 2013, when a lot of people were struggling. If it happened to you, file a claim by March 16 for part of the $27 million settlement.
 
Wells Fargo denies any wrongdoing. Learn more about the Wells Fargo settlement.
