Sirius XM TCPA Settlement
- Class members can file claim or apply for free service
- Deadlines for claim filings and exclusions apply
Since its inception in 1991 a great number of lawsuits have been filed over claimed violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. One of these lawsuits has recently come to a settlement agreement for a remarkable $35 million. Hooker v. Sirius XM Radio was filed as a result of claims that Sirius XM allegedly made calls to cell phone numbers using an automatic dialing system between February 15th, 2008 and July 5th, 2016. Sirius denies the allegations but has come to a settlement with the plaintiffs. The settlement provides Class Members the option of either 3 free months of Sirius XM service or a pro-rata cash payment from the $35 million Settlement Fund. Class Members who wish to make a claim for either option will need to go to the Sirius XM TCPA Settlement page to proceed.
