The final approval hearing is October 7, 2026. The 700Credit breach occurred in June 2023 and exposed the personal information of approximately 1.5 million consumers, including names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.

How much can I get from the 700Credit settlement?

The 700Credit settlement provides a pro rata cash payment from the $17.5M fund, estimated at $50 to $200 per claimant, with documented out-of-pocket losses reimbursed up to a cap of $5,000, and free credit-monitoring services for 3 years per the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026 schedule. The exact per-claimant cash amount depends on the number of valid claims filed against the net settlement fund after fees and expenses.

Who is eligible for the 700Credit settlement?

Class members are individuals whose personal information was compromised in the 700Credit data security incident, per the long-form notice from the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026. The breach specifically affected 700Credit's prequalification-service consumers whose credit reports were accessed by lenders using 700Credit's platform between June 2023 and December 2023. If you received a notice by mail or email, you are in the class.

Do I need documentation to file a 700Credit claim?

For the pro rata cash payment, no documentation is needed per the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026. For documented out-of-pocket losses (e.g., identity theft, credit-monitoring costs, professional fees), you need receipts, invoices, or bank statements tied to the breach. The cap on documented losses is $5,000 per claimant. Keep all records for 2 years in case the administrator requests follow-up.

How do I file a 700Credit settlement claim?

File online at the 700Credit Settlement Administrator portal by September 22, 2026 per the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026 instructions. The claim form requires your Notice ID, name, current address, email, and date of birth. Mail submissions to the address in the long-form notice must be postmarked by the same date.

When will 700Credit settlement payments be issued?

700Credit payments are issued after the October 7, 2026 final approval hearing and the resolution of any appeals, per the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026 schedule. The realistic payment timeline is Q1 to Q2 2027. The administrator emails payment notifications to the address on the claim form. Checks are valid for 90 days from issue.

Can I opt out of the 700Credit settlement?

The 700Credit opt-out deadline was September 8, 2026 per the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026. That window has passed. If you did not opt out, you are in the class and bound by the release, meaning you cannot sue 700Credit separately for the same data breach. Future legal claims related to identity theft from this breach are not barred.

What if I missed the 700Credit claim deadline?

If you missed September 22, 2026, the 700Credit Settlement Administrator 2026 cannot grant extensions. You remain a class member bound by the release but receive no payment.
