About Class Action Buddy
We help consumers actually collect the class action settlement money they're owed. Most settlement notices end up in the trash — Buddy makes sure they get filed instead.
Why we built this
Class action settlements pay out billions of dollars every year — but most of that money goes to cy pres charities or back to the defendant because consumers never file their claims. Take-up rates on most consumer-product settlements are under 15%.
The reason is friction: filing a claim takes 10-15 minutes per settlement, the notices look like junk mail, and the deadlines are easy to miss. Class Action Buddy collapses all of that into a 60-second flow that auto-fills the form using your saved profile.
Who runs Class Action Buddy
Timoteus Bakker
Founder, Class Action Buddy
Built Class Action Buddy after years of watching family members miss out on hundreds of dollars in eligible settlements. Class Action Buddy is part of Kaptivate Labs, a studio focused on consumer-protection software.
Editorial standards
Every settlement we list on this site is real, court-approved, and currently accepting claims. We verify each settlement via:
- Court records (PACER) — every settlement has a verifiable federal or state case number.
- Settlement administrator websites — confirms the case is post-preliminary-approval and accepting claims.
- Class definitions in the official notice — eligibility data is sourced from the legally-binding notice, not third-party summaries.
- Daily monitoring — our scrapers monitor court filings, administrator announcements, and FTC/state AG press releases.
We do not list settlements without verifying their court approval. Our public-facing settlement count (200+) reflects only actively-filable cases — closed settlements move to our archive.
What Class Action Buddy is — and isn't
What Class Action Buddy is: a self-service software tool. We auto-fill claim forms using your saved profile so you can review, sign, and submit each one yourself. You decide which settlements to file. You sign every form. The settlement money is paid directly to you.
What Class Action Buddy is not: a law firm, a third-party claims-filing service, or a contingency-fee operation. We are not your lawyer. We do not represent you in any legal capacity. We do not take a percentage of your settlement money. Our revenue comes from the subscription, not from your payouts.
