The PTZ TCPA Settlement 

• How much money can I get?  Depends on the amount of eligible claims made
• How much is the settlement? A whopping $5,500,000
• When should I file my claim? Anytime on or before August 28th, 2019
• Is the settlement already approved?  No, but hopefully at the hearing on October 31st, 2019
• And if I’m not a fan of the settlement?  File your exclusion no later than August 28th, 2019

A pre-recorded voice on the other end of the line is a source of frustration for most folks.  As an illustration of just how far this frustration can go, let’s take a look at the recent PTZ TCPA Settlement.  The settlement, if approved, will resolve claims that the Defendant used a pre-recorded voice to remind people about a 30 day “gift of insurance”.  If you believe your eligible, you can submit a claim at the online filling page by clicking the File Claim tab.

Key Details 

• You’ll need to file your claim no later than the August 28th, 2019 deadline
• August 28th, 2019 is also the last day you can object or request exclusion
• The final approval should take place at a hearing on October 31st, 2019
• Payments ARE NOT automatic (in other words make sure you file!)
• Similar overall settlement fund value as the Bluestem Text Settlement

By the way, you can file through the mail as well.  In order to do so, just complete the claim form and send it directly to the Settlement Administrator.  The Settlement Administrator is also the place where you’ll want to send your request for exclusion (if you choose that route).

A Look at the Health-Ade (HA) Kombucha Settlement

• Am I eligible? – You may be if you purchased a Health-Ade Kombucha beverage
• What are the purchase dates for eligibility? – From March 6th, 2014 to May 24th, 2019
• What do I get?  – Up to $40 if you cannot prove the purchases and up to $80 if you can
• When should I file? Anytime before the deadline of August 27th, 2019

The amount of sugar and/or alcohol a beverage contains is something consumers pay close attention to.  Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see a class action lawsuit filed when a group alleges a product has more of each than it claims on its label.  If you believe you are impacted by the recent HA Hombucha Settlement you can begin a claim at the online settlement site by clicking the File a Claim Form Online tab.

More on the HA Kombucha Settlement

• If you’re eligible you’ll receive $4 per purchase of an eligible Health-Ade Kombucha
• The amount you can claim depends on whether you can provide proof of the purchase
• If you can prove your purchases you can claim up to 20 (only up to 10 if you cannot)
• The deadline for exclusion requests is the same as the claim deadline (August 27th)
• If you don’t file a claim or request exclusion you’ll get nothing (avoid this outcome)
• This $4 million settlement is far larger than the GCBE Products Settlement

While we’re talking filing deadlines, we should point out that the last day to file an objection is also August 27th, 2019.  Meanwhile, the hearing to decide whether or not the settlement will be approved is scheduled for October 11th, 2019.

Free Service vs. Cash Payment:  Things to Consider

• The free service includes 3 months of Sirius XM’s All Access Subscription package
• An All Access subscription includes more than 150 channels and online streaming
• The overall retail value of the free subscription service from Sirius XM is around $81
• What it boils down to: flexibility of the cash payment vs. the value of the free service

While on the topic of the compensation options, it should be pointed out that each has a different filing deadline.  For instance, if you want the cash you must file no later than October 8th, 2019.  Meanwhile, if it’s the free service you’re after, you must file by December 22nd, 2019.  Either way, you can file online or through the mail.
