Peak Campus Unwanted Text Messages Class Action Settlement

A $7 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Peak Campus Management LLC and ICIM Corp. violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending text messages to tenants without prior express invitation or permission. The class action lawsuit was filed on July 25, 2016 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.

Plaintiff William Truong alleges that beginning in July 2012, Peak sent text messages advertising commercial property availability, to which he did not consent. According to the Peak Campus Management class action lawsuit, the defendants violated the TCPA by sending unauthorized text messages to tenants at Peak and ICIM properties.

Peak and ICIM denied liability and any wrongdoing, but agreed to a settlement to avoid further litigation. The defendants also agreed to change certain procedures moving forward, by making it easier for tenants who receive text messages to opt out of receiving any further messages, if they are the unintended recipient of the texts.

If you received an unauthorized text message advertising commercial property from Peak Campus Management or ICIM between July 2012 and Oct. 16, 2017, you may be entitled to payment from the TCPA class action settlement. Claimants must identify the Peak Property at which they are, or were a tenant, and provide the number at which the text message was received. Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form will be entitled to a pro rata payment of up to $100.

The Peak Campus Management text message TCPA class action settlement was granted preliminary approval on Oct. 16, 2017. Class Members have until Jan. 4, 2018 to object or opt out of the settlement.
