If you filed a claim for the Synchrony settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The Synchrony (GE Capital Retail Bank) class action settlement resolves allegations that the bank called consumers on their cell phones without their prior express consent in violation of federal law.

The plaintiffs claimed they suffered actual harm from receiving daily robocalls from Synchrony, in the form of fewer cell phone minutes and/or charges related to the unwanted calls.

Synchrony denied the allegations but agreed to pay $7 million to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation.

Class Members included all U.S. consumers “whose cellular telephone number, at any time on or after August 22, 2008 through June 16, 2016, Synchrony (or any of its agents or entities) called using an artificial or prerecorded voice and/or using any automatic telephone dialing system and where the person called was called regarding an account that did not belong to him or her and did not provide the number to Synchrony or is not a person who had consented to receiving calls at that cellular telephone number.”

The deadline to file a claim for the Synchrony class action settlement passed on Nov. 14, 2016.
