U.S. borrowers who obtained covered LDF loans from July 24, 2016 through October 1, 2023 may qualify for additional cash from a $16.5 million settlement. Awards depend on state law and loan payments. Eligible borrowers who cashed their first LDF settlement check receive payment automatically; those owed an uncashed first payment must request this payment.

Who qualifies?

People in the United States who obtained a loan from an LDF lending company between July 24, 2016 and October 1, 2023, including Lendgreen, Radiant Cash and the other covered LDF lenders. Cash eligibility also depends on your state when you borrowed and your loan payments; membership alone does not guarantee cash.

How much could I receive?

Eligible borrowers receive a pro rata share based on covered loan payments and their state's rules. No fixed amount is established. Some class members receive no cash but still benefit from restrictions on the settling defendants' lending and collection assistance.

Do I need supporting documents?

Eligible borrowers who cashed their first LDF settlement check do not need to submit proof for automatic payment. Those who must request payment need identifying and contact details, but the saved materials do not confirm whether additional documents could be required.

Do I need a Notice ID or PIN?

No submission is needed for eligible automatic payments. If you must request payment, provide your Notice ID; the online request also requires a PIN. Email and mailed requests must include your name, Notice ID, current mailing address, and email address or phone number.

What is the payment-request deadline?

The saved materials give no deadline for requests from borrowers who did not cash their first settlement check. January 4, 2027 is the opt-out and objection deadline, not a claim deadline. Contact the administrator for the payment-request timing.

What do I need to do to receive payment?

If you are eligible and cashed your first LDF settlement check, payment is automatic; keep your address current. If you were owed that payment but never cashed the check, request payment online or email [email protected] with the subject Request for Payment and your Notice ID and contact details. You can also mail the request to Bradby v Vivus (894), c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 23698, Jacksonville, FL 32241-3698.

Which borrowers receive no cash?

No cash goes to borrowers who made no loan payments, or who lived in Utah or Nevada when borrowing. In Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Vermont and Virginia, payments must exceed principal.

Can I receive money after being paid in the first LDF settlement?

Yes, if you qualify for a cash award in this settlement. This payment is in addition to any payment you received in the earlier Fitzgerald settlement.

Does this settlement cancel my loan balance?

The saved notice does not establish new balance cancellation. It restricts the settling defendants' assistance with LDF lending and collection; it does not promise that every lender or collector will cancel your debt.

When will payments arrive?

Approximately 90 days after final court approval and resolution of any appeals. The hearing is scheduled for February 18, 2027, but that is not a payment date.

Who is included in this settlement?

This settlement concerns the listed online lenders and loans during the class period. Receiving the notice means you were identified as a class member unless you choose to exclude yourself.

  • You are in the Settlement Class if you obtained a loan from one of the listed LDF Lending Companies between July 24, 2016, and October 1, 2023.
  • Cash eligibility is narrower. It depends on payments made on the loan and the law of the state where you lived when you took out the loan.

Do I need to do anything to receive a cash payment?

Whether you cashed the earlier First LDF Settlement check affects what you need to do for a cash award in this settlement.

  • If you qualify for cash and cashed your check from the First LDF Settlement, the Settlement Administrator will send this payment automatically.
  • If you were entitled to a First LDF Settlement payment but did not cash that check, you must submit a request for payment for this settlement.
  • The notice does not state a deadline for submitting that request.

How do I submit a request for payment if I did not cash my earlier settlement check?

This request process applies to a person who was entitled to a payment in the First LDF Settlement but did not cash that earlier check.

  • Submit the request online, by email with “Request for Payment” in the subject line, or by mail.
  • Include your name, Notice ID, current mailing address, and an email address or telephone number.
  • The notice does not say that loss records or other supporting documents must be sent with this request.

When would a class member not receive a cash payment?

Even if you do not qualify for cash, the notice says you receive the settlement’s other benefits.

  • You do not receive cash if you made no payments on the loan.
  • For the states in the notice’s first state list, you do not receive cash if you did not pay more than the loan principal.
  • For the states in its second list, you do not receive cash if you did not pay interest above the state’s legal limit.
  • People who lived in Utah or Nevada do not receive a cash payment because the notice says those states have no interest-rate restrictions.

How is a cash award calculated?

The notice does not give a fixed payment amount for each person. It says the available fund will not be enough to fully repay everyone for covered loan payments.

  • An award is based on principal paid and/or interest paid above the legal limit in the applicable state, as well as the money available in the fund.
  • Awards will be proportionate shares, not full repayment of what each person paid.
  • The $16.5 million fund is reduced by Court-approved service awards, attorneys’ fees, notice costs, and administration costs before class payments.

What benefits are available besides a cash payment?

The settlement includes these non-cash commitments in addition to the cash fund.

  • For three years, the settling defendants agree not to knowingly provide capital, services, or other affirmative assistance to the LDF Lending Companies or their known successors.
  • They also agree not to knowingly assist collection of class-period loans, including third-party collection attempts.
  • This benefit applies regardless of whether you made payments on the loan.

What happens if I stay in the settlement or exclude myself?

Excluding yourself means you cannot receive settlement benefits, including a cash payment. It is the option for someone who wants to keep the ability to bring or join another lawsuit over the claims being settled.

  • To exclude yourself, mail an Exclusion Request by January 4, 2027.
  • The request must include the case name, your contact information, either identifying loan information or the last four digits of your Social Security number, a clear request to be excluded, and your signature.
  • If you remain in the settlement, you give up the right to sue the released parties over the loan-related claims covered by the settlement.
