The national settlement applies to all consumers who had an open credit account or line of credit between January 1st, 1987 and May 28, 2008. That includes car loans, student loans, mortgages, and credit cards.
Corbett tells us, "The settlement is still subject to final court approval but consumers can review information right now regarding the case and can submit a form indicating whether they want to participate."
