I just validated it with the bank it is drawn on. It is real.
So was mine. Did it clear in 7 days of holding

How of I get a hold of the administor

I did too. Trying to figure out is this real?
I received a check in the mail? Is this a scam? Does anyone know?
Did you ever find out if the check is real?
ADMIN – Hi Rhonda,
The checks appear to be real.
I have not received any check from you all.and also my New ADDRESS is 7710 s South shore dr Apt 3a Chicago ill 60649.
I have not received any check that i suppose to have gotten.
ADMIN – Hi Christine,
Contact the class action administrator to ask about your check. Their contact info is listed above.
How do I get my
ADMIN – Hi Christine,
Please elaborate.
Where do I Go to cash my check I do not have a checking account ?
ADMIN – Hi Sharla,
Issuing bank perhaps.
Good morning sweets.
Some check cashing places do it.
Hello…I received two checks regarding this class action suit…I would like to confirm that this is also legitimate not another fraudulent action.
ADMIN – Hi Florence,
It is most likely the real thing but please check with your bank
I have just received one also.i would like to know,if the check is real.
ADMIN – Hi Stephen,
I encourage you to take your check to a bank to have them verify the authenticity.
Is this letgit check?
ADMIN – Hi Grace,
I can’t see the check so I can’t tell you if this is real.
I am Leary about this check, I am thinking someone is fishing to get your Bank information.
ADMIN – Hi Ronald,
If you take a check to the bank they can tell you if it is real.
I just received a check. Thank you
I just received a check. How do we know if this is real? I mean it’s only for $31.55 but still.
ADMIN – Hi Melissa,
Your bank can tell you if a check is real.
I received a check in the mail and if course automatically thought it was a scam. I called the police department but they could not find any proof it was fraudulent. I took it to my bank and they told it would be placed on hold for 10 days. Of they cannot find anything fraudulent about it, they will deposit it after the 10 days.
I received. One too i cash mine hope not a scam if not will we get some more.
I received a check hope it’s no scam to get to my account,31.00. Thank you.
I have tried calling the administrator and all I got was a recording. I also tried the Heffler claim group but their web site was down and has been since Saturday.
ADMIN – Hi Leatrice,
When all fails use snail mail.
My best advice would be to take it a near by Wal-mart. I just received a letter as well for $31 ad my initial thought was they think I’m going to cash this at my bank… noooooo. so I plan to take it too a corner store or Wal-mart money center and let them tell me if it’s real. and have the letter with me in case they try to lock me up lol! Everything is a scam these days and if it’s not a scam I don’t mind losing $2-$3 dollars getting it cashed… I mean it’s $31 and some change…
I received a check for 47.00 went to walmart. Their system denied the check.
ADMIN – Hi Kathy,
Reach out to the class action admin to report.
I received one check for $60.00 a few weeks ago, but have not received a 2nd or 3rd either. Does anyone have a possible update on this?
ADMIN – Hi Lorrecia,
Secondary and tertiary distributions take a while.
These fraudsters now have your full drivers license number, issuance and expiration date. These people retrieved our info from payday loan websites.
I CONCUR
How are they “FRAUDSTERS” you’re the one that went on the website and put all of your information in lol
ADMIN – Hi Derder,
Have you not noticed how frequently the words fraudster and scam are used around here?
I have tried calling the administrator and all I got was a recording. I also tried the Heffler claim group but their web site was down and has been since Saturday.
I received 3 checks (totalling to just under $400). Will need to do some research before I do anything else with them. Seems fishy, I’m always sceptical about such things. Will ask my bank to look into it.
Hello what was your outcome of cashing the check
I like the idea of taking it to Walmart to cash it, I think that’s what I’ll do. I can’t take chances that this is a scheme to get my banking information and can’t find a local address for this bank name.
I called the bank in which these checks were drawn on and they stated that all they can say it that’s there’s sufficient enough funds to cover the check if that helps anyone.
this is legitimate
I received a check for 31.66, I was trying to figure out how this company / lawsuit was able to locate me as I didn’t respond to any issues with my zions bank account . It’s awfully curious that I closed my zions account in 2007 and moved to another state and yet they thought of locating me to send me this CHECK. Hmmmm fishy
ADMIN – Hi Mackenzie,
Your address is in public records.
No my address isn’t
Good evening I just received a check as well for over $40.00. I googled the case on line, haven’t seen anything negative thus far. The letter states I have a 120 days so I will wait until day 110 to see what is the real deal.
ADMIN – Hi R,
Go cash it right now. The bank will be able to tell you if it is the real deal.
I was wondering if this was a scam also. I have been on the website provided, it looks legit, but I am so afraid this is a scam still. I am going to try the Walmart to get it cashed too. I’d rather do that than depositing into my bank account. I don’t want any messes in my account because after all those years of payday loans NO MORE taking them out. Never again. Lesson learned.
I received the check as well i called the bank and heffler claims group it is the real thing this was a lawsuit from a company that was using healthcare and credit reporting companies to take automatic debits out of the bank in my case it was get your credit report now.com .. I have been receiving mail on this since 2006 when i first files my claim against them… they actually had a hearing on it in PA I live in FL so I was unable to attend the hearing but i assure u it is the real deal. I didn’t believe at first it was because I hadn’t heard anything back on it in a couple years now the deadline to file for your claim was in 2016 if you weren’t given the first notice in writing about the class action shit that was taken .. I had received it.. they are able to know your name by the info u had given the scammers .. they had even used physicians names saying u owed a medical bill to try to get money .. but u don’t have to take my word call the bank that the check is disbursed from and they will tell u that it is able to be cashed but won’t give u much more info or go into your local bank i cashed my check 3 weeks ago it has cleared my bank and no feds have shown up lol some people have even been given automatic bank deposits.. hope that has helped some of yall
Hello my name is Mrs. Weaver and I am asking about these checks that my mom received on behalf of her husband I need for someone to please contact ASAP bout these checks. I think they are not real because I cant get in touch with anyone bout them. I need to know more or I will be contacting the sheriff office there in Philadelphia with all this information. I have tried to contact the bank but no luck. my contact number is 803-262-9077
ADMIN – Hi Lynn,
The checks are most likely real. Check with your bank.
I got a check for 31.55. The letter says 3 rounds of checks will be sent out. I only got one. Does anyone know if there’s supposed to be more. I can’t get a response on the phone and the website is down.
ADMIN – Hi Ronald,
Three rounds could mean three batches addressing different groups of people or subclasses or your current check is the first of potentially a series of three checks.
I also received one two weeks ago. I still haven’t cashed it because I can’t prove that it’s not a scam. I went to my bank and they said it looks real that they could deposit it and that if it’s not then I will have to pay $35 for it. I said I would do my research but I can’t find anything. Another thing is it was sent to me under my maiden name so that threw a red flag up to me. I haven’t been under my maiden name in almost 5 years, but my bank said that if I was under my maiden name when this class action lawsuit took place then that is why the check was mailed to me under my maiden name. Could someone please let us know if this is a scam or not??
ADMIN – Hi Rhonda,
Why not contact the class action admin to check if the document is real?
I deposit my check into my bank and it cleared so I guess that means it is good??!!
ADMIN – Hi Rhonda,
Yes, when you deposit a check in the bank and it clears it usually means it is a good and valid check.
Hi Rhonda my name is Refika Lopez and I got a check for $ 37 dollers to and I was reading the about the lawsuit and it seems to be real but I havient got eany more and the lawsuit was for a lot of cash I’m wondering if we should call a an attorneys to see if we can get it all in one lump some
ADMIN – Hi Refika,
All the money in the pool was not for you exclusively. It is shared among all class members. What you got was your share. No need to call the attorneys.
Refika Lopez. The one check we got may be all we will get, there is a lot of people that was involved with this class action lawsuit and that means less money after divided between everyone. We need to just be thankful for what we did get and move on. Hope you have a blessed day.
I received my check also. I went to walmart and they cashed it for me, with no problems.
ADMIN – Hi T,
Thanks for the info.
Hi receive one check still waiting for second and third like the letter says still haven’t received any yet.
I received a check and its real…
I don’t remember if I had an account by that time. I m trying to change it to a paper ck but it not leting me.
I received one check and it was real. Have not heard any follow up about future checks as stated on the website
I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A CHECK. ITS AMOUNTED AT $47.32. ITS REAL AND I CASHED IT AT MY LOCAL PAY O MATIC LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN BROOKLYN NY. IF ANYONE HERE HASNT REPORTED TO THE WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION IT STATES, MORE CHECKS WILL BE ISSUED SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE LATER ON IN THE YEAR.
I got a check for 130.60 is this real
ADMIN – Hi Steven,
Yes, generally class actions are the real thing. Always verify with your bank but I doubt it is a scam.
I am not sure how you received so much! My check was only 10.37! I have written inquiring about this suit but have heard nothing!
I don’t understand if your information was stolen or someone fraudulently withdrew funds from your account and there was this big settlement why are people only getting like $31.00 sounds like a waste of time
ADMIN – Hi Tara,
The net fund will be distributed based on transactional databases that identify most Class Members and the amounts debited from their accounts. A claim shall consist of any sums debited on behalf of one of the telemarketers or Internet marketers and/or any “insufficient funds” (NSF) charges incurred by the Class Member. An NSF charge shall be assumed where a return code in the database indicates an item was returned NSF. A claim amount shall be $25 for each NSF. Thus, by way of example, a person whose account was debited $100 on behalf of a telemarketer and shows three NSF returns will have a claim amount of $175. A Class Member with just one NSF charge and no debited amount will have a claim amount of $25.
My daughter, Jacqueline Parks received 3 Notifications of Outstanding Check for Reyes v. Zions First National Bank. My daughter passed away few years ago. Is there anything I need to do to resolve this matter? The Class Member ID is 3089520MY3PHK. Please let me know. I can be reached at M. Butler, 4528 Cherie Glen Trail, Stone Mountain, GA30083
ADMIN – Hi Marlene,
You need to contact the class action administrator directly.
Finally received one through really slow snail mail. Was made in may, have 120 days to cash. For 110.00. Wonder how much they scammed me, the majority of the people’s reimbursements were for 30.00-60.00.
this is crazy. has any1 found out if this is real or had funds released after 10 day period at bank? Check I received was for 1758.73 I am very nervous to deposit this…
Did you cash it yet?
It is real I took it to a local bank I had no problem cashing it
I have a notice to cash a check I never received
ADMIN – Hi Billie,
Contact the class action administrator.
I received a check for $30.00, They sent me a notice for an outstanding check
I just realized i have a check as well. Should i worry about this?
ADMIN – Hi Shellie,
Instead of worrying you should cash your check
I got my 1st check, are there some more checks coming to me
ADMIN – Hi Cedric,
I am unsure if there is going to be a secondary or tertiary distribution.
Ok, I read up on the case, if Im not mistaken, We have more coming, Its suppose to be later in the year,
I received a notification of outstanding check. How do I find out if I do have a check and how much is it.
ADMIN – Hi Kristina,
That means a check was sent via mail. If you haven not received your check you need to contact the class action administrator.
How do I contact them
ADMIN – Hi Kristina,
844-412-1946
How can tell if I will be getting another check
ADMIN – Hi Kristina,
You can contact the class action administrator
Got my first check today. Researched and it seems legit. Cashing at Wal-Mart and not depositing JUST in case.
Did Walmart cash it
Got 2 checks today. One for $94.65 and one for 31.55. I deposited them today. I hope this is real.
I think its real i remember Getting a little post card type notice in the mail a few years ago about a class action lawsuit and if i signed and returned. The card i could not sue the company myself but instead be a part part of this lawsuit. I forgot all about it until i received my first check And today A second one. I LOVE. GETTING MONEY SENT TO ME INSTEAD OF BILLS! ! I say Keep it coming baby!! Mama needs some new shoes! !! Thank you!!i am greatful!!!
I received a check tried to deposit, but my bank would not accept the check. Something about there system would not take it. Still have the check and just got a notification of outstanding check . Any suggestions on what I should do.
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
You should contact the class action administrator.
Want to know if it is.legit. will more checks and amounts be coming.
ADMIN – Hi Michael,
This settlement is legit. I appears there will be additional distributions.
What’s this check about and what is the scam. Anyone know. I got one today
My mom received a notice stating that I haven’t cashed a check , so I called them to change address and they stated they wouldn’t send it out until August ?? Has anyone else been told this ??
Also they were very unprofessional . When I first called to tell them my new address they didn’t ask for a case the identical number or case number . Then today when I called he didn’t ask a name or number or case number ? Just told me it would august , so why does it take that long to reissue a check to a new adddess and void the other one that I never received . Sounds like a scam
ADMIN – Hi Michele,
I don’t think it is a scam. Class action administration is a complex process that requires multiple layers of validation. It is not just a person sitting on a desk waiting to reissue checks.
I haven’t received my check yet I think y’all put the wrong address
ADMIN – Hi Velma,
Email the class action administrator to submit a change of address
I recieved a notice about not cashing a check.. How do i get this reprinted??
Trying again, not sure why the moderator on this site is not posting my comments or posts. With the exception of an embedded concurrence to Dees posting on May 29th, as she hit the target. Again, has everyone whom received a check take out a payday loan in the past? If so, I suspect if you had payback issues, then this is a scheme to retrieve your info to collect and/or enforce collection.
ADMIN – Hi Mr. Wonder,
You are wrong. The information captured by a class action administrator is separate from any collection effort from other entities. I am posting your comment even if it is absolutely senseless.
Admin, I am not sure how you can be sure that information captured by one entity is or is not shared with another entity? How can my assessment be senseless, unless YOU are absolutely sure that there is no information sharing? BTW, I am not trying to engage in unproductive dialog on this site, but please be real about this.
ADMIN – Hi Mr. Wonder,
At CAR we do not engage in conspiracy theories. If an class action admin was to capture and share information with malicious intent they would be in a world of trouble. In fact it could result in another class action.
Thanks Admin. Understood, that makes sense, Thanks for the clarity.
I received a check last week, I’m going to take it to Walmart and see if they will cash it. I will let you know what happens.
Was this your first or second check
ADMIN – Hi Michelle,
First I believe.
Has anyone received any updates regarding second checks being issued.
No, I was wandering the same thing.
how do i find out how many disbursments we were issued
ADMIN – Hi Ed,
Only the May disbursement so far.
i have not received anything as of yet
ADMIN – Hi Barbie,
Here is the latest update from their admin:
Please be advised, the first round of checks and ACH deposits for eligible Class Members were mailed or deposited on Friday, May 5, 2017. We anticipate additional checks to be mailed to eligible Class Members on Friday, May 12, 2017 and again on Friday, May 19, 2017. If you are eligible, please wait until Friday, May 26, 2017 to inquire about a check you have not received. It is likely that an additional distribution will be made to you later this year, however, we cannot estimate at this time the amount of any such additional distribution.
I received a letter in saying yours send me a check and i didnt cash it but i didnt received none so i call but the said he was going to send it back oit i nevetnt received nothing and that was back in july and it now September and still nevet get it
ADMIN – Hi Sheryl,
I encourage you to call the admin again.
I’m moving next month if any additional checks be mailed to my new address.
ADMIN – Hi Felipe,
Congrats on your move. Make sure you send the class action admin your change of address via mail.
I sent my new address but did not know if it was updated how do I know.
ADMIN – Hi Felipe,
You can always call the class action administrator.
I got a ridiculous amount check of $15.77 in May. I’m really hoping that as a $39 cash settlement that I can receive 1577 that’s it can you please let me know what’s going on with the case my name is Angela Taylor claim number 308-954-8077 NW2
ADMIN – Hi Angela,
We are not the class action admins thus we are unable to follow up. But before you waste your time please remember that this is a pro-rata settlement meaning the amount your receive depends on the number of valid claims.
Hello I received a check too I will also like to know if the check is real
ADMIN – Hi Marlen,
A bank will be best suited in helping you verify the check
Has there been any updates regarding the second round of check issue, since the letter states at the end of the year and well it is the end of the year.
ADMIN – Hi Val,
I have not seen new updates on this.
Will additional checks be mailed?
ADMIN – Hi Nicky,
I believe all checks were mailed already. The settlement page reads as follows:
Please be advised, the first round of checks and ACH deposits for eligible Class Members were mailed or deposited on Friday, May 5, 2017. We anticipate additional checks to be mailed to eligible Class Members on Friday, May 12, 2017 and again on Friday, May 19, 2017.

It is likely that an additional distribution will be made to you later this year, however, we cannot estimate at this time the amount of any such additional distribution.
What happened to the additional distribution that was suppose to be issued at the end of the year as stated. I guess not, sure could’ve used it for Christmas. I should’ve have known not to expect more.

Hi yes I received my first check in June, cashed it at my bank no problems, it was $46.98 or something like that
I forgot the exact amount, on the noticed it said I would received another check, as of today December 27th I haven’t received any further checks, how can I find out if I’m owed any more checks, and if so when I should receive them, my checks should/ would have been direct deposited.
ADMIN – Hi Sheila,
To ask about second distributions you need to reach out to the class action administrator.
They took at of money from me and wanna send me a 20$ check my lawyer is handling this situation they trying to run with with our money and they say to hell with us
ADMIN – Hi Victoria,
Let us know what your lawyer is able to achieve.
To everyone wondering if it’s a real check it is and I was able to cash mine at a casino
Hi, I just received a check today for $13.25 and the letter states that the encloched check represents your second distribution as a class member in Reys versus Zion First National Bank I’ve never received the first check what should I do?
ADMIN – Hi Jacqueline,
It is too late to do anything, enjoy your $13, a second distribution is basically when they take the leftover funds and divide them among members of the class. Had you realized that you were missing your check within 60 days of the initial distribution you could have escalated to the admin to have your check reissued.
I received a 30 dollar check that was legitimate last year and just received my second of 19.87 that I deposit into my account today.
I just received another check of $13.25 my first one was $35 and some change and I thought it was not real the first time I changed it but now I know it is.but I just want to know what is the whole total of what we going to get
ADMIN – Hi Tammy,
You need to contact the admin to obtain the details.
Hey my name is Tammy Hernandez and I want to know what is the amount of what we are getting can you please contact me at 336 995 3681 thank you so much
ADMIN – Hi Tammy,
We cannot contact you. We are not administering this settlement. Contact the class action administrator directly.
Was the remaining funds divided equal, because I see Ms. Jacqueline states that she got a check for 13.25 when I got a check in the mail today for 43.00. How was the funds divided and shouldn’t everyone’s check be the same amount. Just curious!!!
ADMIN – Hi Val,
It could have been proportionally.
Hi my name is Jasmine I just received a check in the mail and I was wondering if this is real or is it a scam would like to know what’s going on thank you please reply
ADMIN – Hi Jasmine,
Most likely it is the real thing.
How long will we be getting these checks why they can’t put them all on one check why do it have to be two or three check at a time
ADMIN – Hi Denise,
The Class Action Administrator is best qualified to answer this question. You can contact them using this form:

Refer to the case name.
I got my second check for 33.12 and the first one I got last year in May for 30 and some change. It’s real people
i need a check reissued because of damage where do i apply
ADMIN – Hi Nicole,
Please contact the class action administrator.
I tried calling the class action administrator but no one answer is that it cause I haven’t received my last check I was just checking.
ADMIN – Hi Felipe,
Try reaching out to class counsel.
Thanks for all your help received the last check today but only have until 10/31/2018 to cash it.
if you don’t mine me asking how much was your check?
I registered two claims for my mother’s estate; Reference numbers 3089522QJNFN2 and 3089522QJKKM7, but to my knowledge never heard back or received check(s) . How do I follow up on this since it seems the website is down (www.telemarketingsettlement.com) and the phone number (844-412-1946) doesn’t seem to reference this case?
Hi Louis, Sorry – but it looks like you’ve hit a dead end. The claims deadline lapsed 4 years ago (11/01/2016), and the claims and settlement website links no longer work. Any chance you have of contacting them would likely be through postmarked mail. Good luck.
