awaiting final approval
Albany Park discount settlement, closed August 18, 2026, waiting on the October 23 hearing
Last checked July 15, 2026
Albany Park, the online furniture seller, agreed to pay $14,993,930 to settle claims that it inflated its regular prices so sale markdowns looked bigger than they were. Anyone who bought from AlbanyPark.com between June 21, 2020 and October 31, 2024 could claim $115, as cash or as store credit good for 18 months, with no receipt.
The claim deadline was August 18, 2026. The final approval hearing is set for October 23, 2026, so no money can move before then.
Where it stands
Claims closed August 18, 2026. The court has not yet approved the settlement; that hearing is scheduled for October 23, 2026.
Payments have not started. The administrator has not announced a distribution date.
When checks usually go out
The wait after a deadline runs months, not weeks. Final approval comes first, an appeal period follows, and only then does the administrator validate claims and start distribution by check, direct deposit, or prepaid card. With a hearing on October 23, 2026, the earliest realistic window for payment is well into 2027, and only if nobody appeals.
If you filed
Hold onto your claim confirmation, and if you move or change banks before checks go out, update your details on the administrator site. Messages promising an early payout for a fee are scams; the only money here comes from the fund, at no cost to you. The Payout app flags settlements while they still accept claims, which is the only stage where a filing helps. It is free on the administrator site regardless.
