American Honda Finance Corporation
Court case: In the Matter of American Honda Finance Corporation
Honda Finance wrongly reported some customers as delinquent with the credit bureaus — even after granting COVID-19 payment deferrals. If your credit took a hit from that mistake, you could be in line for an automatic refund.
Consumers who financed Honda or Acura vehicles and were reported as delinquent to credit bureaus despite having deferred payments during the COVID-19 pandemic or who experienced other credit reporting errors by Honda Finance. Payout: $10.3 million in redress to harmed consumers and $2.5 million civil money penalty (total $12.8 million). Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 17, 2026.

How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- There is no public claim portal for this action — do not trust any third-party website or email claiming to process Honda Finance settlement claims on your behalf.
- The CFPB determines who receives redress based on its own records and Honda Finance's data; consumers are not required to opt in, but you also cannot opt out and request a higher amount through this process.
- If your harm was a credit reporting error unrelated to COVID-19 deferrals, the order still covers certain categories of FCRA violations — a CFPB complaint is the best way to flag your specific situation.
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.
