Update: Palmer v. Sprint Settlement Checks Being Processed
By Kimberly Mirando
Settlement checks for the Palmer v. Sprint solicitation call class action settlement will start going out by the end of the month, according to one of the attorneys representing the class.
“We are now advised that Sprint is in the final stages of verification of claims and calculation of payments, and payments should start no later than the end of April,” attorney Rob Williamson of Williamson & Williams told Top Class Actions.
A federal court approved the Sprint class action settlement in October 2011 but distribution of settlement funds was delayed by an objection by a settlement Class Member. The objection was overruled by the court, which was subsequently appealed by the same Class Member.
On February 14, 2013, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s judgment and order of final approval. Claims are now being processed according to the final approval order and settlement agreement.
Current and former Sprint customers who received a solicitation/telemarketing call from Sprint between 2005 and 2011 and submitted a valid claim by the deadline of November 21, 2011 will receive one of the following awards:
– Category (1) Class Members could receive up to $500 per incident with a maximum of $2,000.
– Category (2) Class Members could receive up to $100 per incident with a maximum of $400.
– Category (3) Class Members could receive up to $500 per incident with a maximum of $2,000.
– Class Members who fall into all three categories could receive up to a maximum amount not to exceed $4,400.

I got mines today. I was suprised to get $250.00 bout time!
I signed up for this settlement and have not received one penny. The company that Sprint hired to make the calls was harassing the **** out of me. When I called Sprint and asked them to make the calls stop, they told me that it was my responsibility to get the telemarketers off my back. Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. The company called me 4 or 5 times a night every night and I was in Bible Study when they called. They wanted me to give out my Social Security Number and personal information over the phone. When I asked them to send me something in writing they got angry. Sprint deserved to be sued and I should have been paid for my trouble.
I received my check today 80.85
Just got my $60.63 in the mail yesterday must be nice!!
I optioned out of the class action and filed the suit for myself and settled for 6200 bucks. LOL for You people are too lazy to do it on your own, you get the crumbs and crust while go getters like us get the pie.
