An overcharge class action settlement has been proposed alleging that the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has overcharged the residents of Indiana. So, if you have paid fees to this Bureau since Jan 2002, you are eligible for the claim through this class action lawsuit.

According to this class action lawsuit, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has overcharged the residents of Indiana who have paid for certain transactions including ID cards, license registrations, vehicle registrations, and other motor vehicle services.

This settlement got approved on May 02, 2017.

A report published on IndyStar.com says that the Bureau of Motor Vehicles has also admitted overcharging the residents. The overcharges amount to be $115 million in the last 15 years. The plaintiffs say that all the overcharges should be returned to the residents who have initially paid them.
