What Closes November 5
Thursday, November 5, 2026 is the claim deadline for two class action settlements that OpenClassActions.com tracks: the YES Communities data breach settlement and the University of Phoenix pixel privacy settlement. Three more settlements have a different kind of deadline the same day, for opting out, objecting or choosing how to be paid. Below those are 15 settlements added to OpenClassActions.com from November 3 to 5 that have not appeared in an earlier OpenClassActions.com roundup.Each settlement resolves claims without a court finding that the company did anything wrong. Where the descriptions below mention breaches, tracking, overcharges or unlawful practices, those are the claims the plaintiffs brought, not findings against the companies.
