What is the NaturaLawn TCPA Class Action About?
You may be part of a new $500,000 class action settlement if you received spam text messages from NaturaLawn of America, Inc., even after you asked the company to stop texting you.The class action lawsuit claims that NaturaLawn continued to send marketing text messages in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, also known as the TCPA. NaturaLawn denies any wrongdoing, but agreed to a settlement that creates a fund of up to 500,000 dollars for eligible class members.
The settlement class includes all persons in the United States who, after asking NaturaLawn to stop sending text messages, received two or more text messages from NaturaLawn within a twelve month period, as shown in the text message records produced in the case.
The total settlement amount is up to $500,000 in a gross settlement fund.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
Each approved Settlement Class Member will receive a cash payment from the net settlement fund. According to the official notice, the settlement is structured so that class members can receive up to $217.00 for every NaturaLawn text message they received after they first requested that the texts stop.The exact amount you receive will depend on several factors, including how many valid claims are filed, how many qualifying text messages are associated with your number, and the Court approved deductions for notice costs, attorneys fees and expenses, and the service award to the class representative. Payments are made on a pro rata basis, so your final payment may be lower than the maximum amount.
