Got a check or email from Kroll Settlement Administration? Here's what it is.
Kroll Settlement Administration LLC is a legitimate, court-appointed settlement administrator — not a scam and not the company being sued. If its name is on a check, email, or postcard you received, a court most likely included you in a class action settlement.
Kroll Settlement Administration is the class action administration arm of Kroll, a large risk and financial advisory firm. Courts appoint it to send legal notices, run settlement websites, process claims, and mail payments. If its name is on your check or email, a court put it there — Kroll is the paying agent for a settlement, not the company being sued.
Its corporate site is www.kroll.com. Individual settlements usually run on their own case-specific website, which is named on the notice itself.
How to tell a real Kroll Settlement Administration notice from a fake
- Kroll publishes a list of the settlements it administers at kroll.com/en/settlement-administration-cases. Look your case up there.
- Each Kroll-run settlement has its own official website named in the notice; the site footer says it is controlled by the court-approved settlement administrator.
- Search the exact settlement name plus the word “settlement”. A real case has an official website that names the court, the case number, and the administrator.
- Check the administrator's own site for a list of the cases it is running, and confirm your settlement is on it.
- Call the toll-free number printed on the notice. A real administrator answers questions about the case for free.
- Filing a claim is always free. Anyone who asks you to pay to file, or to pay a fee to release your payment, is not the administrator.
What a real settlement administrator never asks for
- A fee to file a claim or to release a payment
- Your full Social Security number by email or text (a claim form on the official site may ask for identifying details, but never an unsolicited email)
- Your online banking username or password
- Gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
