How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- The 90-day cashing window is firm — the FTC notice calls it out explicitly, and there is no indication expired checks get reissued.
- Scammers clone FTC refund programs. The real FTC will never ask you to pay anything or hand over bank details to unlock your refund — that is always a scam.
- If you moved since your Aqua Finance loan was originated, your check may have gone to an old address; call Epiq at 888-884-8509 to update your information.
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.
