Attorney General Mike DeWine
RadioShack
Gift-Card Holders May be Eligible for Refunds
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced that
consumers who have unused gift cards from the former RadioShack can
file claims to seek refunds for remaining card balances.
“Consumers who have unused RadioShack gift cards may be able to get
their money back,” Attorney General DeWine said. “We’re encouraging
eligible Ohioans to take advantage of this opportunity.”
Consumers can file claims at www.oldradioshackgiftcards.com from now
until Dec. 2, 2016, to seek a refund.
The claims process was established under a settlement led by Texas and
supported by Ohio, 22 other states, and the District of Columbia to
protect consumers after RadioShack filed for bankruptcy earlier in 2015.
Under a court order approving the settlement, gift cards purchased from
a RadioShack retail store, from RadioShack’s website, or from
RadioShack authorized sellers (Safeway, Incomm, or PointMobl) generally
will be treated as priority claims in the bankruptcy court and paid in
full.
Cards that do not qualify as “priority,” such as those acquired through
merchandise returns or promotions, will be paid as general unsecured
claims and may not receive any payment.
Supporting Texas in the settlement agreement were: Ohio, Arizona,
Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois,
Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
