CashCall Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit involving allegations it violated Florida law with regard to unsecured consumer installment loans.
If you entered into a loan agreement with Western Sky that was subsequently purchased by WS Funding and serviced by CashCall, you may be entitled to benefits from a class action settlement.
According to the class action lawsuit, CashCall and John Paul Reddam, CashCall’s president, CEO and sole shareholder, violated Florida’s usury laws and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The CashCall class action lawsuit involves unsecured consumer installment loans from Western Sky Financial LLC, which Florida residents applied for and received. After these loans were finalized and secured, Western Sky reportedly sold and assigned the loans to WS Funding, and the loans were then serviced by CashCall, a California corporation.
CashCall was the real lender for these Western Sky loans, the plaintiffs allege in the CashCall class action lawsuit.
The Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Florida State Attorney General’s Office have also taken legal action against the CashCall defendants over this conduct. Those actions have been settled.
The defendants deny the allegations but have agreed to settle the CashCall class action lawsuit to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation. They maintain that Western Sky was the actual lender for the loans, and that Florida laws do not apply to the loans because, as stated in the Western Sky loan agreements, the loans are governed by the laws and jurisdiction of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
The CashCall defendants will pay nearly $14.5 million to settle the class action lawsuit. In addition to providing cash payments to eligible Class Members, the defendants have also agreed to discontinue all servicing and collection activities of any of the Class Members’ outstanding Western Sky loans.
CashCall will notify Class Members that the amounts owed on the loans are disputed and will request that credit bureaus remove any credit reporting regarding Florida Western Sky loans.
The CashCall class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Dec. 30, 2016.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the CashCall settlement include anyone who had a Western Sky loan agreement that identified you as a Florida resident at the time you received the loan, and the loan is dated on or after Feb. 11, 2011.
NOTE: If you had a Western Sky loan agreement that was dated before Feb. 11, 2011, you are not included in this class action settlement, but you may be entitled to a restitution payment under the CashCall settlement with the Florida State Attorney General’s Office.
Potential Award
Varies. The amount each Class Member receives will be based on an approximate percentage of the excess interest paid on the loan.

I just received my check today, 10/10/17.
Do you mind if I ask you how much your check is? I haven’t received mine yet.
Thank you.
I received a check of 536.00 on this case is this a real check? lol
I had no idea about this .. I opened my mail today with a check. I did a search online and holy crap this is real deal.. I really thought it was just another collection check deposit scam.. nope..
Thank you state of Florida !!
has anyone received a check
just read checks being mailed on 10/6/17
not a word or a check as of 9/22/17
Has anyone received a check?
No. Maybe they’re waiting til the end of the month.
I just received a collection notice from Western Sky wanting over $3,000. I’m in Florida. To the best of my knowledge from what I’ve read they are not suppose to collect from Florida. That’s what the lawsuit was all about.
I still haven’t received my check from the settlement.

Not yet. I called on Monday, 09182017 and the representative just quoted information that was online. She could not provide me with an answer. To get an answer, it’s best to call the Florida Attorney General’s Office. I have not made the time to call, however I called in July and the rep told me to call back in September, if I had not received anything. Do not call the 1866 number because it’s a call center and they are just providing you with the information online. I will keep you posted.
I’m still receiving calls, what should I do?

I haven’t received my settlement check yet.
Thank you,

I had a loan with Cash Call/ Western Sky Financial in early 2011. How come it only cover’s Fla? I live in Nev. so I imagine I’m not a part of the law suit. I think it should cover all state’s.
