How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- Multiple disbursements have already been made (the most recent transferred in September 2024) — if you haven't received anything by now, act quickly to contact the administrator before any remaining funds are exhausted or the case closes.
- The $50 de minimis threshold means very small calculated shares are not paid out — if your loss calculation falls below that, you won't receive a distribution.
- Only accountholders identified by the Independent Distribution Consultant (IDC) from the fund records are eligible — if your account was held under a different name or through an intermediary, you may not appear in their records without follow-up.
- consecofairfund.com is the official site; be cautious of look-alike domains or anyone claiming to file on your behalf for a fee.
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.
