If you are Canadian and bought a computer between April 1, 1999, and June 30, 2002, you might be owed some money. That’s because a number of class action lawsuits that involve DRAM manufacturers Elpida, Micron, Nanya, NEC, Hitachi, Samsung, Hynix, Infineon, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and Winbond have been settled out of court and close to $80 million in settlement funds were obtained for the benefit of all Canadians and Canadian entities who bought computers, game consoles or anything that had a DRAM chip in it. Here are some examples of what is covered:
- Computers and servers
- Printers
- Personal digital assistants (PDAs)
- Graphics cards
- Video recorders and digital decoders
- Video game consoles
- MP3 players
- Computer based point of sale systems
So if you fit the above criteria, how do you get your cut? What you need to do is to surf to themoneyismine.ca. All households, businesses and other entities who bought DRAM are entitled to $20 without receipts. If you bought several electronic devices, you might have to submit some documents depending on the size of your claim. You have until June 23, 2015, to request their money. A cheque for a minimum of $20 will then be mailed to their address before the end of 2015.
I’ll be filing my claim as I know I had bought lots of stuff that qualifies. I’m pretty sure that other Canadians are similar to yours truly. Thus we should all be filing a claim ASAP.
