If your money transfer account was blocked after a chargeback, or if funds were drained from your Unified Account due to inactivity between 2019 and 2023, you could receive a refund automatically. The CFPB ordered the companies to pay at least $2 million back to affected consumers, so you may not need to file anything.
At least $2 million in redress to affected consumers plus $1 million civil penalty

What you need

How to file this claim
- Check whether you had a GTL/ViaPath/Telmate account that was blocked after a chargeback, or a Unified Account that was drained due to inactivity between 2019 and 2023.
- Watch for a payment or notification from GTL/ViaPath or the CFPB — refunds are expected to go out automatically to affected consumers.
- Keep your contact information current with GTL/ViaPath so any payment reaches you.
- If you're unsure whether you qualify or haven't heard anything after a reasonable period, visit the CFPB enforcement action page at consumerfinance.gov for updates.
Watch out for
- No claim deadline was announced in the public document — watch the CFPB enforcement page for any deadlines that get set.
- The $2 million total covers all affected consumers, so individual amounts will depend on how many people are in the pool.
- The enforcement order covers accounts affected between 2019 and 2023 — activity outside that window likely doesn't qualify.
- Make sure GTL/ViaPath has your current address or contact info so an automatic payment can reach you.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

Where is the official Global Tel Link Corporation d/b/a ViaPath Technologies; Telmate, LLC d/b/a ViaPath Technologies; and TouchPay Holdings, LLC d/b/a GTL Financial Services claim form?
No claim form is needed — CFPB administrative enforcement order requires the company to directly repay affected consumers; no claims process established. Never pay a fee to claim a settlement payment.
Do I need to file a claim to get money back?
Not at this stage. This is a CFPB enforcement order, not a private class-action settlement with an open claims portal. Refunds are being coordinated by federal regulators. Keep an eye on mail or email from the CFPB or a claims administrator.
What did these companies actually do wrong?
Three things: they blocked accounts after chargebacks (cutting off incarcerated people from receiving funds), they didn't give customers complete fee disclosures, and they drained Unified Accounts after a period of inactivity without giving people enough notice.
Is there a deadline to receive a refund?
No deadline has been set yet for consumers to act. The CFPB's order is already in effect, so the process is moving on the regulator's timeline.
How do I know if I had a Unified Account?
Unified Accounts were offered by these companies to people who regularly sent money to incarcerated individuals. If you used ViaPath Technologies, Telmate, or GTL Financial Services for money transfers between 2019 and 2023, you may have had one.
Where can I check for updates on this case?
The official CFPB enforcement page is the best source. Visit consumerfinance.gov and look up Docket 2024-CFPB-0015, or go directly to the enforcement action page at the CFPB site.
