Information for reimbursement of $300 by MadCowDeals.

If you don't own the TV anymore, you don't need proof that you don't own it... you need proof that you ONCE owned it (proof or purchase, or SEA can verify such a purchase) and that you filed a complaint

From Page 8 PART D [samsung.com] here: http://www.samsung.com/us/capacit...Notice.pdf

So if you filed a complaint, and have the proof or purchase, or have called with the serial number, that implies reasonable documentation of ownership. I got MY $300 debit card using this method, per the full class notice.

********************************** SETTLEMENT DETAILS [samsung.com] ***************************
You must fill out and submit this form to obtain reimbursement for:

1) Expenses you incurred, prior to March 2, 2012, to evaluate or diagnose the capacitor issue covered by the settlement up to $150

2) Expenses you incurred, prior to March 2, 2012, to fix the capacitor issue covered by the settlement up to $150, or up to $300 if the repair included replacing a power supply board

3) Shipping expenses, including insurance costs, you incurred, prior to March 2, 2012 to fix the capacitor issue covered by the settlement, up to $150

4) A $300 fully transferable debit card if you reported to SEA, prior to March 2, 2012 the capacitor issue covered by the settlement, but did not get it fixed and you now no longer posess your television; or

5) A payment of $50 if, after March 2, 2012, you require more than on repair to fix the capacitor issue covered by the settlement.

>>>In other words, a customer who repaired the set may receive up to $600 for diagnosis, repairs, and shipping, plus $50 if they need more repairs; while a customer who ditched the set can still receive up to $450 for diagnosis and compensation. <<<
