Chase Bank TCPA Class Action Settlement

Chase Bank USA NA and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA have agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by making automated telephone calls and sending text messages to cell phones in connection with Chase credit card and bank accounts without the prior express consent of the people contacted. If you received an automated phone call from Chase, you may be entitled to payment from the Chase TCPA class action settlement.

According to the class action lawsuit, Chase violated the TCPA by using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or prerecorded voice to make calls or send texts without prior express consent between July 1, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2013. Some of the recipients of these automated calls or texts were allegedly not Chase customers and/or were not the intended recipients of the communications.

Chase denies any wrongdoing, but agreed to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and distraction of litigation. The Chase TCPA settlement was preliminarily approved in August.

Update: The deadline for this Chase TCPA class action settlement has been extended until Sept. 10 as an additional 7.1 million more Class Members are sent notifications. 

UPDATE 2: The court granted in-part and denied in-part this class action settlement on Mar. 2, 2016. There’s been an appeal filed which resolving may take some time. According to the settlement website, sometimes this process can take more than a year.

UPDATE 3: According to the settlement website, as of October 27, 2016, the appeals will be resolved.  Checks are expected to mail by the end of November 2016. Let Top Class Actions know when you receive a check in the comments section below or on our  Facebook page.

Congratulations to everyone who got PAID! UPDATE 5: On June 23, 2017, Top Class Actions viewers who filed valid claims for the Chase Bank TCPA class action settlement started receiving

Who’s Eligible

You are a Class Member of the Chase Bank TCPA settlement if you, between July 1, 2008 and Dec. 1, 2013, received collection calls or wrong-party automatic alerts. A wrong-party automatic alert refers to an automated call or text to a cell phone where the person who received the communication was not the intended recipient.

Potential Award

$20-$40. However, this payment range is just an estimate. The amount of compensation Class Members will actually receive depends on the total number of timely and valid claims submitted.

Cash payments are only available to Class Members who received collection calls from Chase or who received automatic alerts but were not the intended recipient of the communications.

If you only received automatic alerts relating to your own Chase credit card or bank account, you are not eligible for a cash payment from the Chase TCPA class action settlement. However, you can opt out or withdraw your consent to receive these alerts.
