Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The claims deadline was May 10, 2024, 11:59 P.M. PT — it has already passed. Do not assume a claim filed after that date will be honored without explicit confirmation from the administrator.
- The minimum distribution threshold is $250 — if your calculated share falls below that amount, you will receive nothing regardless of your eligibility.
- This is an SEC enforcement action Fair Fund, not a typical class-action settlement; the process and administrator are different from most consumer settlements.
- Only purchasers of BMW US Capital, LLC debt securities in private placement transactions are covered — public market bond buyers are not in this class.
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.
How do I file a claim for this settlement?

-
3If you never filed and believe you qualify, contact KCC immediately to ask whether any late-claim exception exists — the plan was approved November 22, 2023 and the bar date has passed, but the administrator can tell you the current status.
