iQuick one for you folks.
First American and Fivestrata are the latest companies to feel the pain of a TCPA class settlement.
A federal court in Michigan approved a potential TCPA class action settlement involving the two on Friday.
The companies allegedly made illegal calls to 22,000 numbers on the national DNC list. The have agreed to settle the claims for $700k.
The TCPA allows individuals who have had their DNC rights violated to sue for up to $500.00 per call.
The Court granted preliminary approval determining the settlement–which comes in at around $32.00 a class member–was within the range of fairness for a settlement of this type.
The case is Kimble v. First American Home Warranty, 2024 WL 220369, Case Number 23-10037 (E.D. Mich. Jan. 19, 2024.)
Havent pulled the settlement yet to see if NCLC is a cy pres recipient. But I will.
More to come.
