What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
California
I am a member of a class action lawsuit against my former undergraduate university. The lawsuit has reached settlement and payment is expected within the next week. My concern is that I have asked the "settlement auditor" what is my expected payment. I have been asking this question for almost a year now and each time I am not given an answer. According to the settlement documents graduates, which I am classified as, will receive 100% of out of pocket tuition paid excluding grants and scholarships. I have specifically asked are loans considered out of pocket tuition paid because they are neither grants or scholarships. Each time I am told to reference the settlement documents and never given a yes or no answer, furthermore the settlement documents have no mention of loans.
My question is do class action members have the right to know what their individual settlement amount will be (after legal fees) before payment is actually received, or are we to just wait for a check making it is too late to appeal? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
