How to file this claim

If you entered into an equipment finance lease with Leasing Expenses Co. LLC or NLS Equipment Finance LLC and made payments, you must file a claim to receive restitution — payments are not automatic. Eligible claimants may also keep any leased equipment as part of their award. This claim form asks for 2 fields and 3 documents.

  1. Locate the notice email you received and find the unique ID and PIN printed in the upper right corner — you will need both to submit online.
  2. Go to lec-restitution.com/file-a-claim/ and complete the online claim form using your unique ID and PIN.
  3. Alternatively, call 866-302-9947 or email info@LEC-restitution.com to request a paper claim form, then mail the completed form to the settlement administrator.
  4. Gather supporting documentation showing you entered into a lease and/or made payments — such as lease agreement copies, bank statements or payment records, or correspondence with the companies — and submit these with your claim.
  5. Confirm your submission was received before the claim deadline.

What the form asks

  • — The unique ID printed in the upper right corner of your notice email. (Upper right corner of the notice email sent to you by the settlement administrator.)
  • — The PIN printed in the upper right corner of your notice email. (Upper right corner of the notice email sent to you by the settlement administrator.)

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

  • If you previously filed a claim in the related Northern Leasing lawsuit, you must file a new, separate claim for this settlement — your prior submission does not carry over.
  • To file online you must have the unique ID and PIN from your notice email; without these you will need to request a paper form instead.
  • The settlement administrator may use available records to verify claims, but submitting supporting documentation helps ensure timely processing.
  • The claim deadline has passed — confirm current status with the administrator before submitting.

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.
