Consumer and billing-practice settlements
Consumer and billing settlements cover hidden fees, subscriptions that were hard to cancel, deceptive advertising, and overcharges at checkout. Many are Federal Trade Commission refund programs rather than class actions, which means there is no claim form at all — the FTC identifies customers from company records and mails checks. Each settlement below says plainly whether you needed to file or whether payment is automatic.
56 settlements tracked — 14 open for claims, 42 closed. Last updated: 2026-11-08
