If you’ve been the victim of a pre-recorded call over the last few years (and lets face it, who hasn’t), then you may be entitled to a pay out thanks to a class action settlement that is ending very soon.
The case centers around CallCore Media, which is agreeing to pay $2 million to people who received a pre-recorded call from them.
To find out the details of the case, and whether or not you’re eligible to put in a claim, read on.
CallCore Media Settlement Explained
The class settlement lawsuit against CallCore Media alleges that the company violated laws by placing pre-recorded marketing calls, using information obtained from PHBC Marketing LLC.
Specifically, the claim is that in making these automated calls, the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Furthermore, in targeting residents of Texas, it also is alleged to have broken the Texas Solicitation Act. Residents of Texas are entitled to a slightly larger pay out in the settlement.
