$500K Self Financial FCCPA class action settlement

A $500,000 Self Financial settlement resolves claims that the financial company contacted consumers outside of normal hours in violation of Florida law.

The settlement benefits Florida residents whom Self Financial sent a communication, such as phone calls or text messages, regarding a consumer account between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. in their local Florida time zone since Oct. 4, 2021.

Plaintiffs in the telemarketing class action lawsuit claim Self Financial contacted them at inappropriate hours prohibited by state laws. These communications allegedly violated the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act, which limits contact to the hours between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Self Financial is a credit-building platform.

Self Financial hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $500,000 to resolve the FCCPA class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Self Financial settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. Exact payments will vary depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement and other factors, such as deductions for fees, but no class member will receive more than $50.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Sept. 24, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement was scheduled for Oct. 14, 2024.

To receive Self Financial settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Oct. 29, 2024.

Florida residents whom Self Financial sent a communication, such as phone calls or text messages, regarding a consumer account between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. in their local Florida time zone since Oct. 4, 2021.
