CVS TAG Towing Settlement
Alex Goldblum et al v. 101 Kappa Drive Associates #1 et al, GD-18-012108 (Allegheny Cty. Pa. Ct. Com. Pl.) and Annette Moran et al v. Brian Haenze et al, GD-18-012128 (Allegheny Cty. Pa. Ct. Com. Pl.)
A Settlement has been proposed in two class action lawsuits against Pennsylvania CVS Pharmacy, LLC (“CVS or “Defendant”) alleging that Defendant permitted Brian Haenze d/b/a TAG Towing and Collision (“TAG Towing”) to charge more than permitted under the Pittsburgh City Ordinance for non-consensual tows from the CVS parking lots located at 6100 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 and 4610 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (the “Parking Lots”) and asserting claims under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (“UTPCPL”), 73 Pa. Stat §§ 202-1, et. seq., the Pennsylvania Fair Credit Extension Uniformity Act (“PaFCEUA”), 73 Pa. Stat. §§ 2270.1, et. seq., and various common law causes of action. CVS denies these claims but as set forth below has agreed to settle them to avoid the costs and uncertainty of litigation.
You are a Settlement Class Member if you were non-consensually towed from the Parking Lots by TAG Towing between September 18, 2012 and December 27, 2015 and were charged in excess of $110 total for the return of the towed vehicle, or non-consensually towed from the Parking Lots by TAG Towing between December 28, 2015 and September 18, 2018 and were charged in excess of $135 total for return of the towed vehicle.
Your Legal Rights and Options:
(1) DO NOTHING AND RECEIVE AUTOMATIC PAYMENT: If you do nothing, you will receive a cash payment from the Settlement Fund equal to a pro rata share of the Settlement Fund after subtracting the Costs of Settlement Administration;
(2) EXCLUDE YOURSELF: If you ask to be excluded, you will not receive a cash payment, but you may be able to file your own lawsuit against CVS for the same claims. This is the only option that leaves you the right to file your own lawsuit for the claims that are being resolved by the Settlement. In order to be effective, a request to be excluded from the Settlement must contain all the information required by the Settlement; or
(3) OBJECT: You can remain in the Class and file an objection telling the Court why you believe the Settlement should not be approved. If your objections are overruled, you will be bound by the Settlement.
