Frank Azar is a financial industry regulator who filed a lawsuit against Colorado Springs Credit Union (CSCU) in 2020 over overdraft fees.
According to reports, CSCU allegedly charged excessive overdraft fees to its members, leading to a $1.2 million settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and a class-action lawsuit against the credit union.
The Credit Union Settlement Agreement with the CFPB stated that CSCU would pay up to $6 million in restitution to affected customers, as well as pay fines of over $1.2 million to cover the costs associated with resolving the disputes.
The class-action lawsuit, filed by Frank Azar and several other plaintiffs, alleged that CSCU's overdraft fees were excessive and unfair. The plaintiffs claimed that the credit union engaged in deceptive business practices by using complex formulas to calculate overdraft charges.
The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount, with some reports suggesting it may have been worth up to $1 million.
