[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get busy and forget to deal with them.  I've missed out on a couple that might have yielded me some hundreds of dollars.  Automotive.

We got about $250 from Hertz for misrepresenting Mexico rental car prices.  I agreed they deserved to pay out on that.  We were forced into a larger car on arrival because they were out of the car class we reserved and wouldn't comp us on an upgrade.

I got $12 from a Hearst magazine privacy settlement that I filed for because I believe companies need to be more mindful of our data.  It was supposed to be $30 though...more people filed than they expected.

I think I also got $20 for some kind of stock-related misbehavior by an oil exploration/pipeline company.

The ones I forgot to file were related to car repairs that I had gotten repaired under warranty.  [/quote]

I received one from a car dealership that had been selling previous rental cars without alerting buyers. The car in question was a Toyota Camry, and one of the best cars I've ever had. I never had any issues, but I benefited because I purchased it during the incident window.

The ones that annoy me are the small payouts. I got a check for less than a dollar once that I threw away. For cases like that, the settlement company should offer the option to donate it to a local food bank.

Since most occurrences take several years to become a lawsuit, I recommend checking old email accounts if you frequently change them. Nearly all the settlement emails I get go to my old Yahoo account. [/quote]
