Thousands of consumers could receive substantial refund checks from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These checks come from FTC settlements with companies in fraud cases.
Strategic Student Solutions Refunds — Second Distribution
The FTC is sending out a second round of 11,765 refund checks worth over $500,000 in a student loan relief settlement with Strategic Student Solutions.
Consumers will receive checks from this FTC settlement if they paid Strategic Student Solutions for student loan relief and/or credit repair services.
According to the FTC, the debt relief company defrauded customers by charging illegal upfront fees and making false promises. Strategic Student Solutions allegedly promised to reduce monthly payments, apply payments on behalf of customers, and improve their credit scores.
The company agreed to settle these claims with a $3.1 million settlement.
The first $2.5 million round of checks in this case was sent in March 2020. The newest round of 11,765 is worth $502,859.
Checks received in this round of checks must be cashed within 90 days.

Avant FTC Rebates
A total of 17,367 checks worth more than a total of $3.7 million are being sent to borrowers from an FTC settlement with Avant LLC.
The FTC is sending refund checks to consumers who lost money as a result of Avant’s lending practices.
According to the FTC case, Avant falsely advertised to customers that it would accept loan payments by card. Additionally, the company allegedly withdrew money from customer accounts without authorization, failed to credit check payments, and engaged in other practices that lost customers money.
Avant agreed to pay $3.7 million to resolve these claims.
This money is being used to fund FTC refund checks worth an average of $216 per customer. Individuals who receive these checks should cash them within 90 days.

Kevin Trudeau Weight Loss Refunds
The FTC is sending PayPal payments to over 33,000 people harmed by a weight loss scheme.
Consumers will receive payments if they previously received FTC refund checks from the this settlement, did not cash them, and have a valid email address on file.
Kevin Trudeau allegedly defrauded customers through an infomercial weight loss scheme for his book “The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You To Know About.” This infomercial deceived customers with misleading claims, the FTC contends.
Payments were sent via check in June 2016, August 2017, and August 2020.
This recent round of electronic settlement payments benefits consumers who didn’t cash their checks from earlier rounds of payments. Payments will be issued March 1, 2022.
Any additional questions or requests for a physical check can be directed to 1-844-828-4437.
LendingClub FTC Refunds
The FTC is sending out more than 15,700 checks totaling $10.2 million to consumers affected by LendingClub’s false promises.
According to the FTC, the lender promised applicants “no hidden fees” with personal loans. Despite these promises, consumers allegedly had to pay hundreds or even thousands in hidden upfront fees.
LendingClub agreed to settle these claims for $10.2 million — a settlement that is now being used to fund electronic PayPal payments to affected borrowers.
Consumers who receive these payments via PayPal should accept them within 30 days.
