Some of the biggest consumer payout operations in the US are discreetly managed by a relatively small group of legal and technology experts in a building on A.B. Data Drive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is somewhat surprisingly named after the company itself. The majority of people will never go there. The majority of people won’t even be aware of it. However, there’s a good chance that someone in that building has handled a claim on your behalf—or attempted to—if you’ve ever used an Android phone, banked with Wells Fargo, dined at Panda Express, or just had a credit card that charged ATM fees at any time in the previous ten years.
Founded in 1981, A.B. Data, Ltd. is one of the most reputable class action settlement administrators in the United States. The business handles everything from initial notice distribution to final payment delivery for some of the most well-known civil cases in the nation, placing it at a unique intersection of law, data management, and consumer finance. After the lawyers have argued, the judges have given their approval, and the headlines have moved on, it handles the paperwork and payments that follow. The majority of coverage completely ignores this phase of the class action procedure, which is what really decides whether or not common people get their just compensation.
The amount of open cases that are currently passing through A.B. Data’s systems is startling.
