A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Westlake Services LLC d/b/a Westlake Financial Services used an automatic telephone dialing system and/or a prerecorded or artificial voice to call cell phones without the prior express consent of the person called, in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
If you received a call on your cell phone from Westlake or on behalf of Westlake that used an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded voice between Jan. 11, 2012 and Nov. 7, 2013, you may be entitled to compensation from the class action settlement.
Westlake has agreed to create a $10 million settlement fund to resolve the TCPA class action lawsuit, to be distributed on a pro rata basis to eligible claimants.
If approved, this Westlake Financial class action settlement will resolve allegations that Westlake violated the TCPA by making calls to consumers’ cell phones using an automatic telephone dialing system, prerecorded or artificial voice without the consumers’ prior express consent. Westlake denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty associated with ongoing litigation.
Class Members who wish to exclude themselves from or object to the Westlake TCPA settlement must do so no later than June 21, 2016.
UPDATE: On Oct. 14, 2016, Top Class Actions viewers started receiving checks in the mail from the Westlake settlement worth as much as $48.61! Congratulations to all our readers who submitted claims and got PAID!
