Albert Lawsuit: When Will It Pay Out?

What is the Albert Lawsuit about?

Lantern by Labaton is signing up new clients to pursue individual arbitration claims alleging that Albert's short-term 'cash advance' product functions like an earned wage access loan and that Albert failed to provide legally required cost disclosures. Depending on state law, eligible users may be entitled to about $400 or more. Attorney advertising intake: this is not a settled class action. Payout is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Submitting information does not guarantee eligibility, attorney representation, an attorney-client relationship, or any recovery; those outcomes depend on law-firm review, applicable law, and a separate agreement with counsel.
