If you filed a claim for the Hyundai settlement, keep checking your mailbox because you might be getting your payment soon!

The Hyundai class action settlement resolves claims that the car manufacturer recorded customer service lines without informing the caller, in violation of multiple state laws.

Lead plaintiff Brandon Wheelock claimed that between Aug. 17, 2011 and Nov. 29, 2011, Hyundai “intentionally and surreptitiously recorded and/or monitored these calls … between Hyundai customers and employees without ever warning customers they were being recorded and/or monitored and without ever obtaining customer consent or permission.”

Hyundai denied all accusations but agreed to settle the call recording class action lawsuit to avoid the cost of further litigation.

Class Members of the Hyundai call recording settlement included residents of California, Florida, Maryland, Nevada or New Hampshire who called one of the toll-free customer assistance telephone numbers and spoke with a representative of Hyundai during the class period.

The deadline to file a claim for the Hyundai class action settlement passed on Sept. 25, 2015.
