Case ID: 2529 | Miscellaneous | 08/01/2003
The parties have reached a tentative $114,000 settlement in a class action against car rental booking agency Destination Europe Resources, Inc. (DER) on behalf of all persons who rented cars for use in Europe either directly from DER or through a travel agent, during the period July 1, 1998, through June 30, 2001. The action alleges that DER rented cars to consumers for use in Europe and mislead them by failing to properly disclose the amount of Value Added Tax (VAT) that the consumers were being charged, in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act. To participate in the settlement, claimants must submit a proof of claim form on or before September 12, 2003.
Each claimant will receive a coupon for $10 off any future European car rental booked directly with DER prior to December 31, 2005. There are no other restrictions on the coupons. Persons who received a car rental through DER as a part of a travel package are not eligible to take part in this settlement. The settlement will not be effective until the court grants it final approval. The court has scheduled a hearing on the matter for July 28, 2003.
