Many people who would have been able to claim a $3,500 payment from the Tyler Technologies data breach settlement have just missed out. Also, some actions may still be available to those who were quick or were left confused by the process.
Few Reasons As To Why The Deadline Was Missed By So Many People
The last officials’ call to join the Tyler Technologies settlement in the class action was May 29. Breach victims of March 2024 had more than a year to file a claim, but legal professionals think there can be thousands who have missed the opportunity. The major factor was said to be uncertainty.
There was ignorance among the public, who believed that Tyler Technologies was selling directly to them while the fact was that they offer software for courts, schools, and law enforcement. This, in the end, meant that some injured users did not take respective notices seriously and were not able to grasp their data was affected.
The public was not informed that $75 Was Guarantied
According to a legal advocate’s publications, the guarantee of $75 was one of the most little-known parts of the pact. Users without the need to show any proof could claim that amount. It didn’t matter if the notification got a response or not, the one who confirmed the identity could still get smaller cash with minimal effort. But at the moment, the window for getting that money is closed, and those who do not act are sure to lose it.
It is Still Possible for Someone to Have a Plan B
Although the regular filing deadline is a thing of the past, some late claims might be accepted because of a small number of instances. In the case of mail delivery problems or if a person did not receive the notice, he/she can request an extension or a re-evaluation to see if s/he is eligible. People are being advised by legal representatives to either contact the claims administrator directly or keep tabs on the final approval hearing which is expected to take place on August 21.
