About ClaimAlert
ClaimAlert exists for one reason: most American consumers leave money on the table when they qualify for a class action settlement, and the official notification system isn't fixing the problem.
What we do
Every week our editors review newly filed federal class action complaints, settlement notices, FTC enforcement actions, and CFPB consent orders. We translate the legal language into plain English, identify which consumers qualify, list the deadlines that matter, and explain exactly how to file. Nothing on this site costs anything to a consumer reader.
What we don't do
ClaimAlert is not a law firm. We don't represent class members in litigation. We don't administer settlements. We don't collect filing fees, processing fees, or any other charge for our information.
Where our data comes from
- The CourtListener Free Law Project federal docket database (RECAP archive).
- Federal Trade Commission published enforcement actions.
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau consent orders and refund programs.
- Consumer Product Safety Commission recall index.
- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall database.
- Court-approved settlement notices and administrator websites.
Editorial independence
ClaimAlert's editorial decisions are independent of our attorney partner relationships. We list every open consumer settlement we can verify, regardless of whether a partner attorney represents the plaintiffs. Where attorney fees are publicly disclosed, we publish them on the case page.
