The kinds of money that may be waiting for you
Most Americans miss money regularly. It's not because companies are hiding it-it's sitting in the open, waiting to be claimed. We surface the ones you may qualify for and handle the paperwork.
Find My Pending MoneyData Breach Settlements
When your personal data was exposed, companies often settle class actions. You may be eligible for payment or identity monitoring credit-usually no purchase required.
e.g., retail hack, social-media breach, healthcare data leak
Consumer Product Settlements
Defective phones, appliances, cars, furniture-when manufacturers settle for safety issues or false advertising, owners often recover cash or replacement.
e.g., airbag recall, defective battery, misleading claims
Financial Service Settlements
Banks, brokers, and lenders settle for overcharging, unauthorized fees, rate-fixing, or predatory practices. Victims often recover funds automatically or via claim.
e.g., overdraft fees, mortgage servicing, credit card fraud
Subscription & Billing Claims
Streaming services, software, and apps sued for charging after cancellation or charging without consent. Settlements often cover subscription refunds or credits.
e.g., auto-renewal trap, unauthorized charges, cancelled service
Retail & Price-Drop Refunds
Some retailers promised price-match guarantees but didn't honor them. You may be eligible for the difference if you purchased during a specified window.
e.g., electronics price drop, clothing markdown, appliance rebate
Overlooked Payout Opportunities
Tax refunds, insurance payouts, unclaimed wages-legitimate money in your name that exists in public databases but takes real digging to surface.
e.g., state tax refund, insurance settlement, wage claim
Examples only. Eligibility depends on the specific settlement or program and is never guaranteed. PendingMoney is not a law firm.
What a match looks like
Illustrative example
Category
The type of settlement or claim. Helps you understand why we flagged it.
Estimated Range
What others received. Varies widely by settlement size and number of claimants.
Deadline
The cutoff to file. We remind you automatically-no surprise expirations.
Status
Where the settlement stands. Pending, accepting claims, or approaching closure.
Free to file yourself-here's what we add
Every settlement is public. You can file any claim yourself for free. We don't lock claims behind a paywall or gatekeep eligibility data. Instead, we charge a transparent fee only if we save you time.
Find
We search public settlement databases daily. You don't have to monitor dozens of sites. We surface matches in your name.
File
We explain what each form means in plain English, fill in what we know, and guide you through submission. Radically simple.
Track
We watch deadlines, status updates, and payout announcements so you don't have to remember or miss a date.
Deadlines move money
Settlement claim windows don't stay open forever. Most close within 6–24 months. After that, the unclaimed portion typically goes to cy pres (donated to charity) or back to the defendant.
This is the one place urgency is real. Not because we're rushing you, but because the deadline is fixed by the court.
We watch these dates and remind you in time to file. You won't find out too late that you missed by a week.
No guarantees, on purpose
We can surface claims you may qualify for. We can't guarantee you will. Eligibility is decided by each settlement-proof of purchase, account history, location, timing-not by us.
We also can't predict payout amounts. Some settlements pay $15. Others pay $500. A few pay more. It depends on how many people claim, the settlement pool size, and the judge's approval.
If a claim we flag turns out to be ineligible, that's not a failure-that's how class actions work. Our job is to surface real possibilities without the hype.
We're transparent about what we don't know because honesty is the only way to build trust.
