CASE ALLEGATIONS: Global Payments is a payment technology company that delivers innovative software and services to merchants and financial institutions worldwide. Active Network is a Global Payments subsidiary which provides third-party registration and payment processing services to consumers signing up to participate in events.
The Global Payments class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Active Network used deceptive and abusive acts and practices to dupe its customers into enrolling into Active Network’s own discount club; (ii) since July 2011, Active Network, and by extension, Global Payments, was aware of such unauthorized conduct and that Global Payments was violating relevant regulations and laws aimed at protecting Global Payments’ customers; (iii) since 2011, Global payments failed to properly monitor its subsidiary from engaging in such unlawful conduct, detect and stop the misconduct, and identify and remediate harmed consumers; (iv) all the foregoing subjected Global Payments to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny or investigation; and (v) Global Payments’ revenues were in part the product of Active Network’s unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable.
On October 18, 2022, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a complaint against Active Network for illegally cramming consumers with membership fees. On this news, the price of Global Payments stock fell, damaging investors.
