Some good news for a change, class-action lawsuit settlement check came in! Success/Cheers

So the check from a class-action lawsuit (Sweet vs Cardona) settlement finally came in, seems like "Christmas in June" and just in time for the start of summer too 🎊🥳🎊

For context, I (unknowingly) attended a scam school back in the 2000's/fresh out of high school. Went thru the usual "struggling to find a job" that so many millions of other scam school victims went thru, employers not really recognizing the "degree", bouncing from random job to random job, etc

This came at a good time too, car needs some work and I've been nursing a random toothache on the left-side of mouth

Anyways, it feels good to have some financial cushioning again. Cheers everyone 🙂

I'm part of this lawsuit and am still waiting for my check. What was the time frame between seeing your loans removed from the department of education website and getting your check? I'm expecting about 35k and now I'm getting anxious.

I know I'm 12 days late. You should check your email it tells you to go the website and have your current address. I'm guessing so they can mail your check.
