Any sort of information would help. Thank You

Re: class action suit
A class action requires the plaintiff to send notice to potential class members giving them a chance to opt out. Assuming that you did not receive notice as set forth by the court, you may be able to file a separate action.
Most likely, if the matter was settled, the court was satisfied that you did receive notice and failed to timely respond.
