Navient Solutions TCPA Class Action Settlement

Navient Solutions Inc. (formerly known as Sallie Mae Inc.) has reportedly agreed to settle two class action lawsuits alleging it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by continuing to contact phone numbers that were designated as a wrong number.

If you received text messages or phone calls from Navient on your cell phone between May 4, 2011 and Jan. 26, 2017 after Navient designated the cell phone number as a wrong number, you may be entitled to payment from the class action settlement.

Plaintiff Randy Johnson filed the initial class action lawsuit against Navient, claiming that Navient violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by using an automatic telephone dialing system to contact consumers’ cell phones, when the person subscribed to the phone number was different than the intended recipient.

Johnson asserts that, beginning in about September 2014, he began receiving calls from Navient on his cell phone. He says that each time he answered the call, he was greeted with an artificial or prerecorded voice. The calls were allegedly intended for a different recipient, and Johnson says that he informed Navient that he was not the intended recipient of the calls.

According to Johnson’s TCPA class action lawsuit, he has never been a customer of Navient and never consented to receive calls on his cell phone from Navient. He asserts that Navient violated the TCPA by contacting his cell phone using an automatic telephone dialing system without obtaining his prior express consent.

Shelly Toure and Tony Heard filed a similar TCPA class action lawsuit against Navient. This proposed settlement, if approved, will resolve both of these Navient class action lawsuits.

Navient has reportedly agreed to pay nearly $20 million to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit.

The Navient class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Jan. 26, 2017.
