FastBucks New Mexico loan restitution
The New Mexico Department of Justice is handing out roughly $964,000 recovered from FastBucks to New Mexicans who borrowed from it between 2007 and 2016, under a court judgment that found its lending practices unlawful. If you took out a FastBucks loan in that period you may be eligible; claims close on November 24, 2026 and the administrator says payments are expected to begin in April 2027. A Claim ID Number from the mailed notice makes filing quicker but is not required — without one you supply your loan details so the administrator can check you were a borrower. Filing on the official restitution site is free.

Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

State of New Mexico v. FastBucks Holding Corporation, et al. · D-101-CV-2009-01917 · First Judicial District Court, Santa Fe County, New Mexico
About $964,000 in gross recovered funds is being shared out, less the cost of administering the program, so what each borrower receives depends on how many valid claims arrive. No per-borrower figure has been published. Treat any amount as an estimate rather than a promise. Filing costs nothing.
