Nexus, ComplyRight, Alarm.com Settlement Checks Mailed

Top Class Actions readers are beginning to receive settlement checks in the mail from three settlements including Alarm.com, Nexus 6P and ComplyRight.

Nexus 6P Smartphone Class Action Settlement

Readers are starting to receive checks for up to $325 in a class action settlement in which Huawei and Google paid $9.75 million to resolve claims that Nexus 6P smartphones had a “bootloop” defect and a “battery drain” defect.

Those customers who purchased a Nexus 6P smartphone between Sept. 29, 2015 and May 3, 2019 qualified for the settlement awards.

The bootloop defect in the Nexus 6P reportedly caused the smartphones to shut down and reboot, and sometimes caused the products to get stuck in a reboot cycle. The defect in the battery caused the smartphones to lose power quicker than normal.

Class Members in this lawsuit can get between $5 and $400 depending on the types of defects they encountered and whether or not they have documentation of their purchase.

The claim form deadline passed on Sept. 3, 2019.

The plaintiffs are represented by Daniel C. Girard, Jordan Elias, Adam E. Polk, Trevor T. Tan, and Simon S. Grille of Girard Sharp LLP, Benjamin F. Johns, Andrew W. Ferich, Zachary P. Beatty, and Beena M. McDonald of Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith LLP.

The Nexus 6P Class Action Settlement is In re: Nexus 6P Products Liability Litigation, Case No. 5:17-cv-02185-BLF, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

ComplyRight Data Breach Class Action Settlement

TCA readers are starting to receive checks worth $68.14 from a $3.025 million settlement with ComplyRight related to a 2018 data breach that compromised personal information from consumers.

The data breach from ComplyRight’s website occurred between April 20, 2018 and May 22, 2018 and letters were sent out notifying customers of the breach on July 13, 2018. The letters state that their name, address, email address, phone number, and Social Security number had been compromised in the breach.

The letter sent to Class Members also included an offer for a free year of credit monitoring as well as identity theft protection services.

The plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claimed that the company did not protect their personal information and did not notify them soon enough after the data breach.  

The ComplyRight class action lawsuit was settled in April 2019 when the company agreed to a $3.025 million settlement.

Class Members had three options under the settlement. They could choose from a protection plan, a cash payment of around $50, or up to $200 in expense reimbursement.

The claim form deadline passed on Dec. 6, 2019.

The plaintiffs are represented by Ben Barnow and Erich P. Schork of Barnow and Associates PC; Laurence D. King and Matthew B. George of Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP.

The ComplyRight Data Breach Class Action Settlement is Winstead v. ComplyRight Inc., Case No. 1:18-cv-4990, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois

Alarm.com Telemarketing Phone Calls Class Action Settlement

TCA readers are notifying us that they are starting to get checks in the amounts up to $2,223.47 from a $28 million settlement related to a class action lawsuit filed against Alarm.com. The class action lawsuit accused the company of placing telemarketing calls to customers’ cell phones without their prior consent.

The plaintiffs claim that the alarm service company, as well as Alliance, a third-party advertiser, placed calls which were in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Class Members were expected to get checks starting at $94 with an increase in cash depending on how many valid claims were submitted.

In order to receive the settlement money, Class Members needed to provide a Claim ID number or the phone number(s) that received a call from Alarm.com or Alliance.

The deadline to file a claim passed on April 16, 2019.

The plaintiffs are represented by Bailey & Glasser LLP, Terrell Marshall Law Group PLLC, Broderick & Paronich PC, and The Law Office of Matthew P. McCue.

The Alarm.com Telemarketing Class Action Settlement is Abante Rooter and Plumbing Inc., et al. v. Alarm.com Inc., et al., Case No. 4:15-­cv-06314, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
