TCPA Class Action Settlements (Robocalls & Texts)

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects consumers from unwanted calls and texts. TCPA class action settlements typically pay $500-$1,500 per violation, often without proof beyond a phone number that received the calls.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) gives consumers powerful legal protection against unwanted robocalls and spam texts, often resulting in substantial class action settlements. Companies that violate TCPA rules by calling or texting without proper consent face penalties of $500 to $1,500 per violation, creating significant liability when they contact thousands of consumers. Recent TCPA settlements demonstrate the law's financial impact on violators. SiriusXM paid $28 million to resolve claims over unwanted calls to customers who had canceled their subscriptions. Gen Digital, the parent company of Norton antivirus, agreed to a $9.95 million settlement for robocall violations. OptumRx settled for $1.86 million over unsolicited prescription reminder calls, with eligible consumers receiving up to $135 each. You typically qualify for TCPA settlements if you received unwanted calls or texts on your cell phone from the defendant company during specific time periods. Many settlements require only your phone number as proof of violation, though some ask for additional documentation like screenshots or call logs. Payouts vary widely based on the settlement size and number of claimants, ranging from under $100 to several hundred dollars per person. The strongest TCPA cases involve companies that used automatic dialing systems, sent pre-recorded messages, or contacted consumers who had previously requested to stop receiving communications. Violations often occur when businesses purchase phone lists, fail to honor opt-out requests, or continue marketing after customer relationships end. Currently, 11 TCPA settlements are available through our database, with 2 actively accepting claims and 9 completed cases.
