Plaintiffs Robert Feeman and Bradley Bailey (“Plaintiffs”) filed a class action lawsuit, Feeman, et al., v. Albert Corporation, 2:25-cv-03605-MWC-BFM (C.D. Cal.). That is a lawsuit seeking to recover on behalf of a group of people, called a “Class.” Plaintiffs claim that Defendants, Albert Corporation and Albert Cash, LLC, offered a cash advance product (“Albert Instant”) that violated the Military Lending Act (MLA), Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and Georgia Payday Lending Act (PLA)’s disclosure requirements and interest-rate caps.
Defendants deny any and all allegations or assertions of wrongdoing in this lawsuit and deny any and all allegations or assertions that they are liable to Plaintiffs or to any member of the Settlement Class, defined in Question 3 on the FAQs page. Defendants have, however, agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid additional litigation burdens and expenses.

Your Legal Rights and Options in This Settlement: | |
Stay in the Settlement Class and Receive Payment | If you are a Member of the Settlement Class and you do nothing, then you will be bound by the Court’s decisions regarding the Settlement. You will not be able to pursue any potential claims against Defendants that have been released as part of the Settlement. You may review the full release, which is available here as part of the Settlement Agreement. If you are a Settlement Class Member, you are not required to submit a claim to receive payment. Payment will be distributed on a pro rata basis—via check or electronic payment method—once all valid opt out requests have been received and after costs, attorneys’ fees, and any service awards to the Plaintiffs are deducted. If you would like to receive your payment through an electronic form, you may do so online here. All Settlement Class Members who do not opt-out will receive payment if the Settlement is approved, as set forth herein. After payment of attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, settlement administration expenses, and any service awards, it is estimated that each Settlement Class Member will receive payment of approximately $30.00 for each eligible Albert Instant transaction, which will be delivered to the Settlement Class Member’s address on file with Defendants. If you would like to request a change of address, you may do so online here. |
Exclude Yourself | You can opt out of the Settlement if you want to maintain any legal rights you may have against Defendants. If you opt out, you will not be eligible to receive any settlement payment and you will lose your right to object to the Settlement because it no longer affects you. To opt out from the Settlement, you must send a written request to the Settlement Administrator. This request must (1) state that you wish to be excluded from the Settlement and (2) include the information discussed in more detail in this Notice. |
Object | If you do not exclude yourself, you have the right to write to the Court to object to the Settlement if you believe it is unfair. If you choose to object, you will remain a part of the Settlement Class, and you will be bound by the Court’s decisions regarding the Settlement. |
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained further on the FAQs page. The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement.
