The Applicant has agreed to a $49.5 million settlement with NAB and MLC Limited in its class action over the sale of credit card and personal loan CCI products. The agreement to settle is subject to Federal Court Approval.
At this stage there is nothing you need to do in order to make a claim in the NAB CCI Class Action. However, we would encourage you to register your details using the link above to ensure that you receive any future information about participating in the settlement.
What is the NAB CCI Class Action about?
On 26 September 2018, Slater and Gordon filed a class action against NAB and MLC Limited in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of persons who held CCI for their credit card or personal loan, namely:
- NAB Credit Card Cover (NAB Cover) at any time since 26 September 2012; and/or
- NAB Personal Loan Cover (NAB PLC) at any time since 13 June 2013.
The claim is based upon allegations that NAB and MLC have engaged in unconscionable conduct by selling CCI to persons who were ineligible to claim under the terms of, or otherwise highly unlikely to benefit from, the insurance policy. It is also alleged that NAB engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct in relation to the way CCI was sold to persons.
