What happened

Do you qualify?

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.
Common questions
- Can I file a claim in the Collaku v. Pinnacle Bank Fraud Class Action case?
- No. This case has been filed and is still being litigated — there is no settlement, no claim form, and no payout. Many class actions are dismissed or never certified, so a case being filed does not mean anyone will be paid. If it settles and a claim process opens, that will be announced by a court-appointed settlement administrator.
- Where is the Collaku v. Pinnacle Bank Fraud Class Action case being heard?
- The case is before the District Court, N.D. Illinois, case number 1:26-cv-08649. Everything alleged in the complaint is an allegation, not a proven fact.
