Details: Career Education Corporation has reached a $20 million class action lawsuit settlement over allegations it sent unsolicited text message ads to consumers without their consent. If you received an unwanted text from Career Education, you may be entitled to receive up to $200 from the class action settlement.
The Career Education text settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Rojas v. Career Education Corporation, that alleges the education services company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending unsolicited text message advertisements to consumers without receiving explicit consent to do so.
Career Education Corp. denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to establish a $20 million class action lawsuit settlement fund to pay out Class Members in order to resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Career Education text class action settlement include anyone in the United States who, on August 27, 2008, was sent the following text messages for Career Education Corporation:
IMAGINE HAVING A JOB U LUV! CREATIVES DO SO CAN U. REPLY WITH “Y” TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ACADEMY. BY CEC. STD / OTHER CHARGES MAY APPLY. STOP 2 END

Under the class action lawsuit settlement agreement, Career Education has agreed not to send text messages to consumers without their prior express consent. It also agreed to pay Class Members up to $200 each if they submit a claim form by December 7, 2012.
The amount of your exact payment from the Career Education text class action settlement cannot be calculated at this time because it will depend on the total number of valid claims that are filed. You can expect to receive your class action settlement check within 60-90 days after the settlement has been finally approved and/or after any appeals have been resolved. A Final Fairness Hearing is scheduled for October 23, 2012.

NO WORD YET HUH. OH WELL JUST KEEP THE FAITH IT WILL COME. LET ME KNOW WHEN IT DO. THANKS.
OK, THANKS CHRIS. I AM SURE THY WILL SEND MORE CHECKS OUT SOON.
THey didn’t say when more checks would go out, so I’m not sure what’s going on. This is so different from the other lawsuits.
ANY BODY KNOW WHEN MORE CHECKS ARE BEING MAIL.
Still getting the run around about these checks, telling me a supervisor will call me back, this is BS. Will let you know what they say when someone calls me back.
Several thousand checks were mailed out? This seems so werid on GCG behalf. I never seem them send out checks like that usually they have to send out the checks all at once or none at all. Let us know what the supervisor says…please.
HEY ! SCOOT WHAT DAY DID YOU GET YOUR CHECK. IF I MIGHT ASK.
Spoke with a representative today and he told me several thousands of checks were mailed out on May 9, 2013 but mine was still being processed and that a supervisor would call me back within 24-72 hrs. They are full of it. I received no letter or nothing. This is there way of not wanting to pay us our money. I want my money.
Got my check about a week ago for $200. If you haven’t gotten them yet hopefully you’ll get them soon!
Have not gotten nothing from this lawsuit? Where are our checks??
