The court’s exact words
You may be eligible to receive a payment if program records show that you were a consumer borrower identified in the consumer loan data of the FastBucks defendants provided to the State and were adversely affected by the FastBucks business practices at issue.
Quoted from the official notice. Read the notice for the full definition.
Our notes: This is not a class action: it is a restitution program run by the New Mexico Department of Justice under a 2016 Final Judgment in a lawsuit the State of New Mexico brought against FastBucks Holding Corporation and others. Per the program website and notice, people who obtained one or more loans through FastBucks Holding Corporation between 2007 and 2016 may be eligible; payment goes to consumer borrowers identified in the consumer loan data the FastBucks defendants gave the State who were adversely affected by the business practices at issue. People who got a notice with a Claim ID Number should use it; people without one can still file by giving loan information on the claim form (Part 2) so the administrator can verify them. Claims can also be filed for a deceased borrower or by an authorized representative.
