Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a Westlake Financial Services TCPA class action settlement and a LifeLock false advertising class action settlement.

If you filed a claim for either the Westlake or LifeLock class action settlements, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The Westlake Financial class action settlement resolves allegations that the company used an automatic telephone dialing system to place robocalls to cell phones in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Class Members included “All persons to whom Westlake, its agents and/or its independent contractors between January 11, 2012, and November 7, 2013 placed a telephone call using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice to the person’s cellular telephone in connection with the confirmation of a loan applicant’s references.”

Westlake denied the claims but agreed to pay $10 million to avoid the cost of further litigation.

The deadline to file a claim for the Westlake TCPA settlement passed on June 21, 2016.

The Westlake plaintiffs are represented by Stephen F. Taylor and Sergei Lemberg of Lemberg Law LLC. (Note: Lemberg Law LLC is only representing the Westlake Class, they are NOT counsel for the Lifelock settlement)

The LifeLock class action settlement resolved allegations that the identity theft protection company failed to keep its promise of continuous security.

Specifically, the plaintiffs alleged LifeLock falsely advertised the following promises to its customers:

• Comprehensive services in detecting fraud
• Timely and continuous alerts of potential fraud 24-hours a day, every day of the year
• Keep customers’ personal data (credit card, social security, and bank account numbers) secure
• A “$1 Million Total Service Guarantee,” which provides insurance up to $1 million against identity theft
• LifeLock denied the allegations but agreed to pay $68 million to end the class action lawsuit.

Class Members included individuals who had a LifeLock identity theft protection plan at any time between Sept. 1, 2010 and Jan. 20, 2016.

Subclass Members included those who enrolled in a LifeLock identity theft protection plan between Jan. 1, 2012 and Apr. 30, 2015.

The deadline to file a claim for the LifeLock settlement passed on Apr. 29, 2016. Subclass members were not required to file a claim to receive a portion of the class action settlement.

LifeLock plaintiffs are represented by Joseph Henry Bates, III and Randall K Pulliam of Carney Bates & Pulliam PLLC; RoseMarie Maliekel and Michael W. Sobol of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP.
