£14bn Mastercard class action gets green light from court
Almost every UK adult could get payout if case over alleged overcharging succeeds
A £14bn class action against Mastercard for allegedly overcharging 46 million British consumers during a 15-year period has been given the green light to proceed.
Almost every adult in the UK – even if they never had a Mastercard – could receive a payout of up to £300 from the credit card company after a supreme court ruling paved the way for the class action lawsuit.
