A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Stonebridge Life Insurance Company and Trifecta Marketing Group LLC.

Case Name

Lee v. Stonebridge Life Insurance Company & Trifecta Marketing Group LLC, Case No. 3:11-cv-00043-RS, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.

Case Summary

The TCPA class action lawsuit alleges that Stonebridge authorized Trifecta to send unsolicited text messages that stated, “Thanks 4 visiting our website please call 877-711-5429 to claim your $100 walmart gift card voucher! reply stop 2 unsub.” The text messages may have varied by offering a different dollar amount for the gift card voucher or included a different toll-free number. According to the class action lawsuit, consumers who called the number in the text message would be offered Stonebridge life insurance products by Trifecta.

The text message spam class action lawsuit alleges that Stonebridge and Trifecta violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act because consumers did not agree to receive those text messages.

Stonebridge and Trifecta deny the allegations, but agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid burdensome and costly litigation. The class action settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

Final Hearing

7/24/2014

UPDATE 1/8/15: The Lee text message class action settlement was approved at the Final Hearing. According to the Settlement Administrator, checks worth $155 were mailed in October 2014. It appears most viewers did not receive a check because their claim was denied, although notification of denials were not received by many. If you have a question about your claim, you can contact the Settlement Administrator, Kurtzman Carson Consultants, toll free at 1-866-354-3015.

  6. Administrator says:

    The Checks that were sent out were all returned due to wrong postage. We regret the error. We will be re-organizing and re-sending the checks out in early February 2015. Due to extra processing fees, the amount of checks will now be $92.

    1. Tim says:

      Yawn… If you’re going to troll, you should at least have the decency to be less obvious.

  7. Rog says:
