CA Management Services Text Ads Class Action Settlement

A $1.5 million action settlement will end claims that CA Management Services sent spam text messages promoting apartments to consumers without permission.

Class Members include those who received the promotional text messages from CA Management Services Parent LLC, Campus Acquisitions Management LLC, CA Student Living Development Management LLC, or from buildings managed by these companies since May 22, 2015.

Brittany Cortazar, the lead plaintiff in the CA Management Services TCPA class action lawsuit, alleged that she and thousands of others were bombarded with text messages from the property management company and related groups, promoting their apartments.

The plaintiff says she never agreed to receive the advertising messages and they constituted an annoyance and extra cost to her cell phone bill.

Cortazar claimed the text messages also constituted a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA. The TCPA is a federal law that restricts the ability of telemarketers to inundate consumers with advertising messages via phone. The Act has been expanded to include text message communication and requires that the cell phone owners provide permission to receive the communications prior to sending them.

The CA Management Services TCPA class action lawsuit contended that neither the plaintiff nor others who received the spam texts consented to them. The fines under the TCPA for violations are steep, up to $1,500 per unwanted communication.

CA Management Services refused to admit any liability, but agreed to pay $1.5 million to end the class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, Class Members will receive an equal portion of the settlement fund, expected to be approximately $18 or less.

To make a claim in the CA Management Services TCPA class action settlement, Class Members must submit a claim either online or by mail. Class Members can either provide a Claim ID Number, provided on the postcard notice for the settlement, or the phone number that received the spam text.

The deadline to opt out of or object to the CA Management Services TCPA class action settlement is Feb. 12, 2020. The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for March 13, 2020.
