ADMIN – Hi Serraino,
Please submit a claim. Leaving your address here does not constitute a claim.
Why did inot get a form to send in.
Thank you scott mays
ADMIN – Hi Tina,
We are not the class action administrators, Perhaps you did get a notice but it was perceived as junk mail.
No comment – wanted t submit claim
Feel resident duke users are entitled to payment from claim-
Duke never gave me no rebates or a latter
Strongly feel Duke users should be entitled to payment, not going towards funding programs which we will never have use of.
Been a customer since 2001
I would like a check sent to me instead of deductions from future billings.
ADMIN – Hi Therese,
In reading the terms it looks like that is what you are going to get. Why don’t you contact the class action admin so you can get additional details?
I have been customer since 1971 6647 Kennedy Ave 1971 – 1976
3725 Congreve Ave 1976-Present My claim # misplaced
ADMIN – Hi Norman,

My Late Parents lived here and paid during those years…I now reside here…Am I entitled to this REFUND?
ADMIN – Hi Gary,
You probably are if you are the executor. Contact the class action administrator to check.
I request the funds that are due to me .
ADMIN – Hi Nathaniel,
Did you request the funds by filing a claim?
Where do I sign check?
ADMIN – Hi Larry,
You sign checks on the back.
How do i fibd out my status ? I filled out and returned the form. But never had a reply .
ADMIN – Hi Patricia,
You need to contact the administrator using the information provided on this page.
I have moved since the class action case started, but I have always been a Duke customer. Will I receive a check and will it be forwarded to my new address, which I am still a Duke customer.
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
You need to contact the administrator to submit a change of address.
Is it too late to enter as a class member? I just found out about this class action. I no longer live in Cincinnati moved in 2013. However, I lived there for 37 years and was a Duke Energy customer during 2005 through 2013?
ADMIN – Hi Shirley,
It is too late to file.
Good Evening,
I had file for the law suit but I don’t remember if my application were accepted. How can I find out ??
ADMIN – Hi Pamela,
I encourage you to contact the admin using the information we provide on the main page.
I want to know how to find out if im getting a check and or if I’m eligible
ADMIN – Hi Antoinette,
Did you file?
I received a postcard size check from Huntington showing my rebate amount. My question is, “Based on the size of this alleged check, is this for real and should I really take it to my bank and deposit it”? Usually, checks are bigger.
ADMIN – Hi Richard,
Many checks are postcard size.
I didn’t even know a law suit existed. I was a Duke customer at this time. Let me know if I can still get a rebate?
ADMIN – HI Joanna,
I don’t think so but I encourage you to contact the admin.
I saw the reply to Joanna Estrada from the Admin where they Admin says to contact the Admin. Well, how do you do that?
ADMIN – Hi Linda,
I am the administrator of this wonderful page. The administrator for the class action is listed at the bottom of each page under “contact”
My husband and I never received a post card or claim form to fill out. Just now hearing on the news that checks are being mailed out and people are receiving their checks. We pay lots to Duke every month (and I know that you are not Duke Energy). We deserve to be part of this settlement. I do not think that if you are a Duke customer that a claim form should have to be automatically filled out. Every Duke Customer should be entitled to a refund if we were overcharged for electric. Which we apparently were.
I file a claim then was told I didn’t qualified for a rebate in 2005 the account was in my late husband’s name he past away in 2006 and in 2007 I had the account put in my name so would like to know why I don’t qualified all you have to do is look at the account I’m should be entitle to one.
ADMIN – HI Sandra,
The administrator is best qualified to answer that question. Scroll up and look for “contact” to get their info.
So, if I didn’t submit a claim, I am not entitled to a rebate check even though I have been a paying customer of Duke Energy here in Southern Ohio long before it was Duke Energy? Since I evidently didn’t send back the paperwork, because I haven’t gotten a check.
ADMIN – Hi Linda,
Correct.
I filed a claim and was approved but have since moved. How do I find out if I will get it
ADMIN – Hi Brandy,
You reach out to the admin in writing to submit your new address.
February 14,2017 I called Duke Energy and spoke to someone by the name Vicky and she gave me the number 1-844-322-8220 and this # is to find out about your rebate check. I want to know where is my check they toll me I didn’t fill that’s a lie.
ADMIN – Hi Dejuana,
Our website is purely informational, we are not class action administrators. You need to reach out to the admin using this email info@dukeclassaction.com
I received a post card a year or so ago , and I thought that it said that everyone was included in the class action lawsuit and you could opt out if you wanted too , but I didn’t opt out so I thought I was included.
ADMIN – Hi Linda,
Are you talking about the same case? This one clearly indicates that you must submit a claim.
I just want to know where my rebate check is for Duke Energy? It was suppose to be mailed out months ago according to the local News Media! Date is 03/04/2107. I cannot get a hold of anyone to answer this question.
ADMIN – Hi Betty,
We are purely informational in nature thus unable to help you.
People are asking me if I received a check from Duke. I have not….what do I need to do.
ADMIN – Hi Lori,
You need to reach out to the admin of the settlement (not us)

ADMIN – Hi Donessa,
I can’t. I am not the class action administrator.
Hi, I submitted my claim online, but never received the payment check. Is there anything that I can do?
ADMIN – Hi Allison,
This settlement was paid many months ago. Consider reaching out to the class action admin but I have the feeling you won’t be able to recoup.
I am use to be a resident of Ohio but i moved to Alabama I was just informed of this settlement. I to went through Duke Energy for electric service. What do I need to do to get in on this settlement.
ADMIN – Hi Garfield,
The deadline has passed and you no longer have legal recourse.
I received my settlement and taxes were taken out. Will I get a 1099?
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
Please reach out to the class action administrator.
Who is the administrator?
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
Scroll up and read the section titled, “contact”
The number is no longer working.
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
That means the administration has closed shop and you no longer have legal recourse.
I never received my claim … honestly, I forgot about it until I came upon the paperwork and the claim number. Can someone check about my claim reimbursement? Happy to provide the claim number in a different place. Please advise. Thanks, Julie Wallace
ADMIN – Hi Julie,
You are way too late. The administration for this settlement has finalized distribution and closed shop.
As an aside, I went up to the top of this string and sent an email to the address listed – but I got a failure to send, as it is not a valid email address. I will call the number listed above tomorrow, but I am not hopeful it is still active. Do you have any details available that may be new or updated? Thanks, Julie Wallace
ADMIN – Hi Julie,
This case was paid and finalized several years ago. You no longer have legal recourse.
BECAUSE OF THIS SETTLEMENT MONEY I RECEIVED, I NEED DUKES EIN NUMBER FOR MY 2017 TAXES RETURN. PLEASE INFORM ME AS TO WHAT IT IS.
THANKS
ADMIN – Hi Tom,
I don’t have that information. You need to contact the admin directly.
I need proof of the payment Duke sent me. The IRS is now sending me a bill unless I can prove how much the check I received was for, Who do I contact to get this information?
ADMIN – Hi Dave,
You can reach out to the class action administrator.
How do I contact the administrator?
ADMIN – Hi Dave,
Their contact info is posted above. If that is not working try reaching out to class counsel
Still not working. How do I contact class counsel?
ADMIN – Hi Dave,
This is the name of the firm handling it
Markovits, Stock & DeMarco, LLC and Freking Myers & Reul, LLC
I just now found my settlement check. Can they reissue it or how can I cash it?
ADMIN- Hi Beverly,
No. Checks are generally not reissued. That is money that is lost forever.
I never received a settlement check although I filed a claim online on 12/30/15. This has been hanging on my bulletin board for 4 years. How do I find out what happened?
