A $15 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging marketing calls made on behalf of SolarCity Corp. violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
If you, between Nov. 6, 2011 and Oct. 16, 2017, received one or more calls on your cell phone on behalf of SolarCity, you may be entitled to a cash payment from the SolarCity TCPA class action settlement.
According to plaintiff Jose Albino Lucero Jr., marketing calls made by or on behalf of SolarCity violated the TCPA because some call recipients did not provide their consent to receive the calls. According to the TCPA class action lawsuit, the marketing calls offered SolarCity solar panels.
Lucero alleges that numerous robocalls were made by or on behalf of SolarCity to consumers’ residential and cellular telephones. “Many of these calls were made using a computer voice imitating a live call center representative,” the SolarCity class action lawsuit alleges. “All of these calls were made using an autodialer.”
According to the TCPA class action lawsuit, Lucero did not give SolarCity prior express written consent to receive the marketing calls. Further, he claims his phone number was listed on the National Do Not Call Registry for years. He says the SolarCity marketing calls violated the TCPA.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act prohibits companies from using an autodialer and an artificial or prerecorded voice to contact consumers on their telephones without their prior express written consent. The TCPA also prohibits companies from calling numbers listed on the National Do Not Call Registry or on company-specific do-not-call lists.
Under the TCPA, consumers may be able to collect $500 to $1,500 in statutory damages per violation.
SolarCity maintains that the allegations in the TCPA class action lawsuit are without merit, but it has agreed to a class action settlement to avoid the burden and expense of ongoing litigation. If it is approved, the TCPA settlement will also resolve a similar SolarCity class action lawsuit that was filed in Massachusetts federal court.
The deadline to exclude yourself from or object to the SolarCity TCPA class action settlement is Dec. 15, 2017.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the SolarCity TCPA settlement include all individuals in the United States who, between Nov. 6, 2011 and Oct. 16, 2017, received from or on behalf of SolarCity one or more calls on their cell phones or at least two telemarketing calls during any 12-month period in which their phone number was listed on a National or State Do Not Call Registry or on SolarCity’s internal do-not-call list more than 15 days before the calls.
Potential Award
Class Members will receive a pro rata share of the $15 million settlement fund. The amount each Class Member is eligible to receive depends on the total number of Class Members who submit timely and valid Claim Forms.

I filed a valid claim and no check…amazing how they don’t respond when the settlement agreement states they are supposed to reply to claimants in a timely manner and let us know what’s going on
You can try contacting class counsel with your questions. Counsel is listed in this article and can be Googled for contact information.
there is no more checks being mailed,the lawyers got the rest.
I filed and didn’t receive a cheek
I did not get a check yet in new york city
Appears only a scant few checks were issued & there’s no way of knowing if any others are coming. The website was updated with the following: “June 15, 2018 Settlement checks mailed to eligible claimants”. The phone# is a call center (not the administrator or counsel); they are telling everyone the same thing, which is they cannot look up claim# and tell you anything other than if you filed a timely claim, you will receive a check. I was told to wait until August to inquiry about missing checks.
Anyone in Louisiana receive anything yet?
I received my check for $94.91 today (6/23/18) Finally I got paid off for this violation.
I signed up for this one but, nothing yet here in Florida and there’s no agent or person available to talk to so, I can check it out.
I’m in Cali waiting … these people have called me numerous times .
