Research, not a pitch
We will not file every class action for you — and we should not charge a monthly fee to try.
A “sign me up for all of them” subscription sounds convenient. After looking at how these cases actually work, and at how regulators have treated similar businesses, we are not building that button. Here is why, in plain language. This is not legal advice.
Filing is already free
Every settlement on this docket has a court-appointed administrator. You submit a form on their website at no cost. A monthly subscription to do that for you is, at best, charging for a free public process. At worst it is the exact pattern consumer-protection offices have already called out.
A D.C. attorney general already went after this model
In December 2024, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb announced that Communion, Inc. (ClaimClam) — a company that files class-action claims for customers — had to overhaul its marketing after an investigation into predatory tactics. The office found ClaimClam did not clearly say it was unaffiliated with the cases it advertised, that people can file themselves for free, and that some featured matters had not even settled. It also failed to adequately disclose fees of 15%, and in some cases 40%, of a recovery. The company paid $55,000 in civil penalties and agreed to prominent fee and affiliation disclosures, and to stop claiming that DIY filing is riskier than using their service.
You can only claim settlements you actually belong to
“File me in all of them” would submit forms for cases you are not in. Claim forms are signed under penalty of perjury. Filing ineligible claims can be fraud, can get the claim thrown out, and takes money from people who do qualify. Administrators and class counsel say this constantly. A service that sprays claims for every open settlement cannot know whether you bought the pork, used the app, or got the breach letter.
Someone else cannot swear for you
Most claim forms require the class member — or their lawyer — to attest that the facts are true. A software product signing that you purchased a product, lived in a state, or received a notice is not a paperwork shortcut. It is a false statement if it is not true, and it can be the unauthorized practice of law if the service is choosing what to file and how to describe your eligibility.
Many settlements reject claims mills
Administrators watch for bulk, look-alike, or third-party “claims filing service” submissions. Some settlement agreements and notices say those claims may be denied. Even where they are not banned, a mill that files the same narrative thousands of times is a fraud flag. Opening the official site yourself is the path the court designed.
A monthly fee makes the incentives worse
Percentage-of-recovery models already drew AG scrutiny when the fee was hidden. A flat monthly charge is worse for most people: you pay whether or not a settlement exists, whether or not you qualify, and whether or not a check ever arrives. Data-breach and no-receipt claims often pay tens of dollars. The honest product is a list, a matcher, and a link.
The data you would have to hand over
Real claim forms ask for addresses, dates of birth, account emails, sometimes Social Security numbers, VINs, or medical details. Holding that for “we’ll file everything” is a privacy and security problem we are not going to take on so we can charge a subscription.
What we will do instead
- Keep a docket of open settlements, soonest deadline first, with a bias toward claims that do not need receipts.
- Link only to court-approved administrator websites — never to a paid middleman.
- Let you match claims to facts about your life, then file each one yourself in minutes.
- Let you save a personal queue on this device and tick off what you have filed.
- Let you set deadline reminders on this device — a letter you send from your own inbox, plus a calendar file your phone can ping. We do not operate a mail server.

Laws differ by state. If you want a lawyer to file for you, hire one who is licensed where you live — do not pay an app a monthly fee to impersonate that.
