Numerous Top Class Actions readers are reporting they got huge surprise in their mailbox Friday – a check worth over $400 for a text spam class action lawsuit we’ve been reporting on since 2011.
The checks are part of a $6 million class action settlement between Google Inc. and consumers who were bombarded with text messages from Disco.com – a group texting platform developed by Google subsidiary Slide Inc. The settlement resolved allegations that Google Slide violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending unsolicited text messages to consumes, sometimes dozens in a single day.
Class action settlements sometimes get a bad rap for offering small payouts to consumers. But what many critics don’t realize is that class actions are designed to help hundreds – sometimes hundreds of thousands – of consumers go up against a huge company like Google without having to shell out attorneys’ fees or spending hours in a courtroom. Sometimes the payouts are small – average class action settlements reported on by Top Class Actions are between $10 and $50. Sometimes, though, TCA connects consumers to class action settlements that can be worth hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars.
As one reader put it: “It freakin’ pays off to read the newsletter every Monday, TopClassActions.com!!!”

The check came today …. guess there was a second mailing … check is dated 10/17 … :)
I received my settlement check only to have the check returned by my bank. They said the funds could not be deposited because the paying bank could not find the account on the check. Anyone else having this problem?

Hannah & George,
This is crazy … today is Thursday and nothing and I, like yourselves were affected by this class action … I sent my claim around the same time as you did Hannah … my mistake was telling my neighbors about this class action site (trying to be the good guy) … I wonder if the administrator in this case seen the series of address and sees this as an issue or something … funny but true I am the last unit in my row of townhomes … lol … found out today they told the neighbors all around us … and all but I and the last home in the other row got theirs … I hope it comes in a batch mailing this week … if not I learned a lesson and that my friend is priceless … and even funnier I could use the money now for my sons birthday on Sunday … I was a Gov’t employee that got furloughed (had to work with no pay) because of my job … and now I am in the arrears on all my bills :(
