How to file this claim
- Confirm that the claim deadline of December 9, 2012 has passed — no new claims are being accepted into this fund.
- If you filed a timely Proof of Claim Form before December 9, 2012, contact the Distribution Agent, Rust Consulting, Inc., at 1-877-225-9893 or www.MoziloFairFund.com to check your claim status.
- If you filed on time but never received a distribution check, ask Rust Consulting whether unclaimed funds or a supplemental distribution round exists.
- Note that participating in this fund does not release any rights or claims you hold against other Countrywide parties — those are entirely separate matters.
Watch out for
- The deadline was December 9, 2012 — this distribution window has long closed. Any claim submitted after that date was rejected.
- The administrator phone line 1-877-225-9893 and site www.MoziloFairFund.com may no longer be active given the age of this case; try the SEC.gov page for updated contact information.
- Only use sec.gov and the named administrator, Rust Consulting, Inc., as your official sources — scam sites impersonating SEC Fair Fund administrators are common.
- Filing here did not release claims you held against other Countrywide officers, directors, or related parties in separate civil litigation.
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.
