How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- Former customers who do nothing will not receive a refund — you must return the completed claim form.
- No documentation needs to be submitted with the claim form, but the form itself must be mailed to the administrator.
- Refunds will not be issued until after the court resolves any appeals and grants final approval — timing is uncertain.
- The pro rata payout percentage may vary depending on the final number of claims and total fees and expenses deducted.
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.
