Proof Required?
Peoples Security Bank & Trust and Peoples Financial Services have agreed to pay $1,152,673 to end Steven Roses v. Peoples Security Bank & Trust Company, Case No. 14-cv-5108, in the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The suit accused the bank of breaking the rules that govern vehicle repossessions and debt collection. This one pays automatically. Every account in the class gets an equal share — about $1,300 — and there is no claim form to file. If you received the mailed notice and do nothing, you stay in the settlement and receive the payment once the court grants final approval. September 21, 2026 matters only if you want out. That is the deadline to exclude yourself, to object, or to ask the court for a different split than the equal per-account allocation. Miss it and you are simply in — which, for once, is the good outcome.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You received the court-authorized notice by mail — the class was identified from the defendants' own records, so the notice is what tells you that you are included
  • The case concerns accounts connected to vehicle repossession and debt collection by Peoples Security Bank & Trust or Peoples Financial Services
  • No sign-up, no claim form, and no documentation is required to receive the payment

How Much Can You Get?

The settlement fund is $1,152,673, divided equally across class accounts — about $1,300 per account. Payment is automatic for everyone who stays in the class, after the court grants final approval. A class member who prefers a different division than the equal allocation had to request it by September 21, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I file a claim for the Peoples Security Bank & Trust $1.15M Class Action Settlement?

File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.

Do I need to file a claim for the Peoples Security settlement?

No. Payment is automatic. Class members were identified from the defendants' records, and everyone who stays in the class receives an equal share — about $1,300 per account — after final approval.

What is the September 21, 2026 deadline?

It is the opt-out and objection deadline, not a claim deadline. It is also the last day to ask the court for a different division than the equal per-account allocation. Doing nothing keeps you in the settlement and gets you paid.

What was the lawsuit about?

The plaintiff alleged that the defendants violated the laws governing vehicle repossession and debt collection, seeking the minimum statutory damages those laws provide. The defendants deny wrongdoing, and the court has not ruled on the merits.
