ECA Marketing has agreed to a $990,000 settlement benefiting consumers who claim the company placed pre-recorded calls to their cellphones without their permission.

The Class is made up of anyone who received one or more automatic or pre-recorded calls from ECA Marketing between April 21, 2016, and April 21, 2020.

The plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit had alleged ECA Marketing violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using an automatic dialing system to call consumers’s cellphones without their prior express consent and/or by using pre-recorded or artificial voice.

The company — which markets life insurance and annuities, according to its LinkedIn page — has denied it did anything wrong, but has agreed to the settlement.

The Court has not ruled in favor of either party.

Class Members who submit a valid claim will be eligible for a cash award after attorneys’ fees and other expenses are deducted from the settlement fund.

The final amount of each Class Member’s payment will depend on the total number of valid and timely claims filed.

Any amount remaining in the fund from uncashed settlement checks may go out in further distributions to Class Members who filed a valid claim and cashed their check.

If that further distribution isn’t feasible from an administrative standpoint — for example, if less than $1 per claimant remains — the remainder of the fund will be donated. The plaintiff has proposed any such money go to Public Law Center.

A final fairness hearing in the ECA Marketing settlement is Dec. 6, 2021.

The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is Sept. 6, 2021.

The claim deadline is also Sept. 6, 2021.
