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.How to File Your Claim
File with the administrator:
- There is no claim form for this settlement — payment is automatic for class members who do nothing
- To exclude yourself or object, submit a signed request by September 21, 2026, following the instructions in the mailed notice
- Questions go to the settlement administrator via the official settlement page or the class counsel contact printed on the notice

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.
