A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging AT&T used an automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice to contact consumers on their cell phones about AT&T’s U-verse service without first obtaining the prior express consent of the cell phone service subscriber.
If you received a communication from AT&T regarding a U-verse account for which you were not the accountholder, you may be entitled to benefits from the AT&T class action settlement.
Plaintiff Kison Patel initially filed the AT&T class action lawsuit in September 2015, accusing the company of using a predictive dialer and leaving a prerecorded voice message in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
Patel says he received a call on his cell phone from AT&T, and when he answered the call, he heard a prerecorded message regarding an account. According to the AT&T class action lawsuit, Patel did not give AT&T permission to contact him on his cell phone about the account, and the call was allegedly not made for emergency purposes. He asserts the phone calls made by AT&T violated the TCPA.
Companies that make calls in violation of the TCPA may be subject to statutory penalties of $500 per violation or $1,500 per willful violation of the TCPA.
AT&T denies the allegations but agreed to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the cost, risk and uncertainty associated with ongoing litigation. The company will pay nearly $2 million to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit.
The AT&T class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Oct. 11, 2016.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the AT&T settlement include: “All subscribers to those wireless telephone numbers identified as having lodged a complaint prior to November 18, 2015, regarding receiving a communication from AT&T regarding an AT&T U-Verse account for which they were not the accountholder (excluding subscribers of AT&T wireless and/or U-verse services).”
Potential Award
Up to $250.
The actual amount each Class Member receives will depend on the total number of claims filed. Each claimant will be entitled to a base payment of a pro rata share of the settlement fund, up to $250 per claimant. If there is money left over in the settlement fund, the remaining funds will be distributed on a pro rata basis based on the number of automated calls made to the cell phone number, up to $500 per call.

847-701-5290
have anyone else recvd a check?
Did everyone who received a check file a w-2 …i was told i had a valid claim but didn’t receive a check or w-2 I’m in Va
U only file a W-2 if any income is over $500 for the entire year. Since I got $60.05 that’s way low for now. If you got your check for $500.00 you file NEXT year, not this year:)
What was the mailing date?
Po: If ANY company gives you $600.00 or more, in a year Jan-Dec., they need your soc sec #
in order to send you a 1099 form to claim on your taxes, as income.
There seems to be several threads going on at once here.
Many are getting 6 digit checks that qualify for 1099 information.
I think you got caught in that thread.
I got mines Thursday.It was over 1500! I was so happy to receive mines! Thank GOD
Claimant,
did you mail your w-9 in? or did you do at on line.
I did it online
Are the settlement administrator still sending out checks. Cause I did’t get mine yet.
