How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- The consent order was terminated on July 21, 2025 — the CFPB formally closed its oversight after VyStar paid the civil penalty and completed the refund audit. There is no open filing window through the CFPB.
- The $1.5 million civil money penalty goes to the CFPB, not to members — individual refunds came separately through VyStar's own process.
- No third-party claims administrator is involved here; VyStar handled refunds internally, so any dispute goes directly to VyStar or the CFPB complaint system.
- Watch for scam sites impersonating a 'VyStar settlement' — this enforcement action had no public claims portal; the CFPB's official page is the only legitimate source.
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.
