RadioShack Gift Card Holders Now Able to Recover Lost Balances

Friday, December 04, 2015 | 12:00pm

Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III, along with the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs, informs consumers they may now file claims to recover the unused balance on RadioShack gift cards. Holders of gift cards purchased from the former retailer RadioShack are eligible to recoup 100% of the remaining balance on the cards.

The claims process is part of a settlement agreement previously approved in the U.S. Bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware and supported by 24 states and the District of Columbia.

Consumers who have unused RadioShack gift cards with a balance can go to the website oldradioshackgiftcards.com to read about the claims process and obtain a claim form which they can submit electronically or by mail.

Under the Court order, holders of gift cards that were purchased from RadioShack, the RadioShack website or any of its authorized sellers will be paid 100% of the balance remaining on the cards. Cards acquired in any other way will not be treated as a priority claim and those claimants may receive a small percentage of the balance or may not receive any payment.

Consumers should be aware that no one associated with this settlement will contact them to ask for personal or financial information or to request any payment. Consumers asked for such information or payment should say no to those requests.
