Common questions
- What is the claim deadline for the Figueroa v. Pret Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was January 2, 2026. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the Figueroa v. Pret Settlement?
- Yes. This settlement asks for documentation supporting your claim — a receipt, an account record, or the notice you were sent. Check the official settlement website for exactly which documents are accepted.
- Is the Figueroa v. Pret Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Simpluris is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at cruzpretsettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Figueroa v. Pret Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
