How do I tell the Court if I don’t like the settlement?
If you’re a Class Member, you can object to the settlement if you don’t like any part of it and you can give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The Court will consider your views. To object, you must send a letter saying that you object to the settlement in Hamilton v. Ohio Savings Bank. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number, your signature, and the reasons you object to the settlement. Mail the objection to these three different places postmarked no later than November 2, 2007.

What’s the difference between objecting and excluding?
You were provided an opportunity to exclude yourself from the class when you received the Notice of Class Action. By choosing to remain in the Class, you agreed to be bound by any judgment, whether favorable or unfavorable, entered in this case. If the settlement is approved it will result in a judgment and you will be bound by it. However, you may object to the terms of the settlement. The Court will consider your opinion but may approve the settlement over your objection. Objecting to the settlement does not mean that you will be able to sue the bank on the claims asserted in the lawsuit.
