The case has been filed and is being fought in court. There is no settlement, no claim form and no payout yet; many class actions are dismissed or never certified.

What happened

The plaintiff alleges that Bank of America committed fraud in connection with trust accounts. The case was filed as a proposed class action on behalf of trust beneficiaries. The court has since limited the case to the plaintiff's individual claim and struck the class allegations.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
