The deadline to file a claim is May 23, 2026.The lawsuit alleged that Infiniti of Clarendon Hills violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending unsolicited text messages and making calls to people whose phone numbers were on the Do Not Call Registry without their consent.

What is Infiniti of Clarendon Hills?
Infiniti of Clarendon Hills is a luxury car dealership located at 415 E. Ogden Avenue in Clarendon Hills, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The dealership sells new and pre-owned Infiniti vehicles including sedans, crossovers, and SUVs. It also provides automotive service and financing. The dealership is part of the Lisle Auto Plaza group and has been operating since 1989, making it one of the original Infiniti dealers in the United States.The lawsuit centers on how the dealership marketed its vehicles. According to the complaint, after consumers submitted their contact information through Kelley Blue Book (KBB), Infiniti sent them repeated text messages and calls promoting its products and services. Many of these consumers had their phone numbers registered on the National Do Not Call Registry, which is supposed to stop companies from contacting them with unsolicited marketing. The TCPA makes it illegal to send more than one telemarketing message within a 12-month period to a number on the Do Not Call Registry.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
Infiniti has agreed to pay up to $552,600.00 into a common settlement fund. After deducting attorney fees (up to 33%, not to exceed $182,358), litigation costs, administration expenses, and a service award to the class representative (up to $5,000), the remaining funds will be distributed equally among class members who file valid claims.Who Qualifies for the Infiniti TCPA Settlement?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is a federal law that restricts telemarketing calls, auto-dialed calls, prerecorded calls, text messages, and unsolicited faxes. Under the TCPA, companies cannot send more than one telemarketing text message or call within a 12-month period to a phone number that has been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days. The law provides for $500 in damages per violation and up to $1,500 per violation for willful or knowing violations.What is the National Do Not Call Registry?
The National Do Not Call Registry is a free service run by the Federal Trade Commission that lets you register your home or cell phone number to reduce the number of telemarketing calls and texts you receive. Once your number has been on the registry for 31 days, most telemarketers are legally required to stop contacting you. You can register at donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222 from the phone you want to register. Registration does not expire. If you are still getting unwanted calls or texts after registering, the company sending them may be violating the TCPA, which is exactly what this lawsuit alleges.Case Information
