Update: De Beers Diamond Settlement Checks On the Way!

By Kimberly Mirando

 


 
Finally, some good news for Class Members of the De Beers diamond class action lawsuit settlement: On May 21, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the final petition for review. Shortly after, the Claims Administrator announced it is conducting final claim audits and will distribute the class action settlement funds within the next few months.

We reported last month that the U.S. Supreme Court received a second petition for judicial review by a member of the Indirect Purchaser Class, which could have delayed the payment of claims for an undefined period of time.

Luckily, the Supreme Court did not take long making its decision, and it looks like Class Members will finally get paid after years of delays caused by challenges and appeals.

We’ll keep you notified as soon as we learn when Class Members can expect their settlement checks to arrive from the De Beers diamond class action lawsuit settlement.

A special thanks to Top Class Actions reader “Nico,” who alerted us to the update to the Settlement Administrator’s website, DiamondsClassAction.com.

    When will we realize that we are not going to win the lottery when it comes to class actions. The only persons getting rich are the lawyers. I called months ago to enquire how the suit was progressing, spoke with a delightful young lady with boiler room noises in the background. Years ago I was invoved in a class action suit concerning house siding, received $1,000 to reside a 4600 sq ft house. I didn’t want to make money, just cover the cost of residing a 5 year old home. Remember: Only the Lawyers make money on these suits.

    Anyone know how to get hold of a live person? I need to change my address because we have moved since I filed. The phone number on the website is useless. I would rather talk to someone than try to mail the address change.

    You know, it’s been so long since I filed (for about $20,000 on just the diamonds alone), that while I still have all my documentation that I sent, I can’t help but imagine my claim being just lost in the mess somewhere. If I get a check, fine — it likely won’t be enough to make a huge difference for me. If I don’t get a check — well, we have amazing rings still. Okay, it’d be really nice to get my check just to have it over. :o)

    Scott Hardy from TopClassActions.com says he is hearing the checks will be mailed in September or October. So I guess the waiting game continues.

    Anyone who claims they have recieved a check on this is lying. The claims admin has stated that NO payments have been made out yet at all.
