    I would like to know if we were awarded? Moved since we completed the form on 6/27/2011. Claim Ref. #: 10252542.

  2. Annette Lucas says:

    Please contact me regarding the reissuing of payment. My check was misplaced. It is not a large amount, but it is money and I’d like it. I attempted the number listed. It is no longer the correct establishment. Please contact me at 251 586-1283 in these regards. Thank you!

    1. Top Class Actions says:

      The settlement website is no longer active. You’ll need to try and contact the settlement administrator through their corporate office: http://www.rustconsulting.com/Contact. You can also contact class counsel. Counsel is listed in the article and can be Googled for contact information. Unfortunately, it’s more than likely you cannot get a check reissued since it’s been years since the settlement paid out. Usually settlements call for remaining settlement funds to be donated to charity or redistributed to claimants that cashed their checks. We wish you the best of luck in getting your questions answered!
