NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, YOUR RIGHTS, AND OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER
A court authorized this notice. This is not a lawsuit, and you are not being sued.
However, read the full notice carefully because it may affect your legal rights.
A proposed settlement (“Settlement”) has been reached between plaintiffs Marisa Timpson and Marvin Butler (“Named Plaintiffs”) and defendant OwnerGUARD Corporation (“OwnerGUARD”), in the class action lawsuit filed by Named Plaintiffs in Prince George County, Maryland (“Action”). You have received the notice because OwnerGUARD’s records indicate that you may be a member of either the Lack of Response Subclass or the Deduction Subclass. The notice is designed to inform you of the Settlement, and advise you of your rights to participate in, object to, or opt out of the Settlement. Unless you opt out of or object to the Settlement, the Settlement, if finally approved by the Court, will be binding on you.
