      Hi, I never received my class action refund and submitted claim in time. Can you help me look into this?

  5. Mr Glenn A Altman says:

    As of Mid-March 2013 attorneys for claimants had not filed a motion to distribute funds to the Consumer Class. Until that Motion is filed and granted by the Judge, no funds will/can be distributed to the Consumer Class.

    Do attorneys ever get anything settled besides their fees? Why don’t the courts ever come to a conclusion?
