Indianapolis, In. — Indiana drivers who were overcharged by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles could soon have an easier path to claim the last $3.3 million of a much larger class-action settlement.
Officials a technical issue has prevented residents from receiving payments from the state attorney general’s unclaimed property division. The Indianapolis Star recently reported that Marion County judge Heather Welch directed the BMV to refund the money itself through credits or refund checks.
The BMV has been sued twice for charging motorists too much for licenses, vehicle registrations and other services between 2002 and 2014. In settlements totaling $92 million, the BMV agreed to refund drivers between $1 and $50 each.
