Sirius XM Subscription Class Action Lawsuit
By Mike Holter
A federal class action lawsuit claims Sirius XM Radio advertised 2-year subscriptions for $227.05 but actually charged $249.99 for them.
Plaintiff Joel Broida alleges in the Sirius XM Radio class action lawsuit that he purchased a two-year “Family Friendly” internet radio plan based upon advertised rates that anyone who purchased a 24-month plan would pay for only 19 months, i.e. receive “5 months free.”
“At the time of this advertisement, Sirius XM charged $11.95 per month. The two-year plan should, therefor, have cost $227.05. Instead, Sirius XM charged plaintiff and its other customers $249.99 for the 24-month plan,” states the Sirius class action lawsuit.
Under the Internet Tax Fairness Act (ITFA), the lawsuit continues, no state of political subdivision can impose taxes on internet access during the period beginning November 1, 2003 and ending November 1, 2014. “Despite the prohibition on taxation of internet access enacted by the Internet Tax Fairness Act, Sirius XM charged, and continues to charge, their customers fees and taxes based upon, in part, the cost of internet access.”
The Sirius XM subscription class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of (1) all Sirius XM customers, past and present, who contracted for internet radio services and were charged fees and/or taxes based upon the cost of internet access and/or (2) all Sirius XM customers who purchased the 24 month Family Friendly Plan and who paid more than $227.05 for that service at the time when Sirius charged $11.95 per month and advertised such purchasers would receive “5 months free.”
The Sirius XM class action lawsuit is seeking damages, restitution and attorneys’ fees based on alleged Breach of Contract, Violation of Consumer Protection Laws, and False Advertising.

I need to know how to be a part of this lawsuit, I have been a member since 2011 and I haven’t been able to stop them from taking money from my account
I have been a customer of Siriusxm since 2008 and woul like to be a part of this and/or receive information on the lawsuit. Please notify me!
This is not about the current law suit. However I am employed by siriusxm. radio, I was told upon employment that I would have health insurance after 90 days. The problem is that recently I have been informed that I will have to get my own insurance, because the company has just redone their insurance, because it did not comply with the standards of ObamaCare. I will not be covered until I have worked a full year. Is this false advertisement upon being hired? I was flat out lied to able the availability of health insurance and so was a lot of my co-workers we were just wondering if there was anything we could do about being mislead. Thanks
