Official payout table
The amounts the settlement itself sets. We do not work out a personal amount.
| Option and condition | Amount |
|---|---|
| Each valid claimSet amount | $250 |
The $250 needs a claim form. Loan cancellation and refunds of payments made on the loan are automatic.
The proposed settlement automatically benefits Settlement Class Members through three categories of relief: (i) the personal loans have been or will be canceled; (ii) credit reporting relating to the personal loans have been or will be requested to be deleted; and (iii) payments made by class members to NFCU on the personal loans have been or will be reimbursed, including any offset payments initiated by NFCU. ... If you submit the enclosed Claim Form, you will receive an additional $250.00. ... The $250 cash payment will be made to your deposit account with NFCU. If you no longer have a deposit account with NFCU, the reimbursement payment and $250 cash payment will be sent to you by check via U.S. Mail to the same address as this Notice.
