Www.DiscoTextSettlement.com – Disco Text Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Did you ever take part in the Disco Group Text Messaging Service? If you did, then you may be able to get some money from the company that offered the service. This company is Slide, Inc. You should have received a text message from the Disco messaging service even though you had no given consent to receive those messages. This is a clear violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The amount that you may get from the Disco Text Class Action Lawsuit Settlement which can be found at www.DiscoTextSettlement.com can be as up to $500. How much each person receives varies based on the number of valid claims that are received. There are 400,000 or so people who are eligible to get a payment if they submit valid claim forms. The total amount of the fund is $6 million. How much you get will be out of this fund. However not the entire amount will go towards the payment of claims. Some of the money will go toward the payment of attorneys’ fees. The cost of administration will also come out of this.

If you did receive the unwanted text messages and you want to get money from the company, the only way that you can do this is to submit a claim form. In some instances you do not have to do this to remain in the class and get the money. However, in this case you do have to fill out the claim form and submit it by June 28, 2013. In order to do this you can click on the Submit a Claim link at the  www.DiscoTextSettlement.com site.  You will have to fill out your contact information first before you can proceed to fill it out online. Make sure that you enter the correct information. Also make sure that you fill it out completely. Failure to do either of these will result in your claim being rejected and not processed. You can only fill out one claim for one phone number. It does not matter how many text messages that you may have received. You can also call a toll free number in order to get a claim form. The claim form that you receive can be submitted via regular mail. So if you are not comfortable putting your personal information online, then this is the route that you should choose.

Usually payment is made in the form of a check. You will most likely receive this check between 60 – 90 days after the final approval of the settlement. This happens at the Final Fairness Hearing. This will take place on May 14, 2013.  If you do receive a check, make sure that you cash it immediately. This is because this check will expire after 90 days. If you do not cash the check, the amount set aside for the uncashed checks will be donated. So you will not be able to get another check if your check expires.

Once the settlement is made final, you will no longer be able to sue the Defendants as you will no longer have the legal right to do so. The only way that you can stay out of the settlement and retain your right to sue is if you submit an exclusion form. This is something that you have to request in writing by April 2, 2013.  Make sure that you find out the details of how to do this. There are specific things that you will need to mention in the letter. If you do not provide adequate information, your request may not be considered valid. If you are not sure if you are on the right path in terms of what to include in this letter, I would suggest that you talk to either the Disco Text Class Action Lawsuit Settlement administrator or the legal counsel that has been provided to you free of charge. If you decide to exclude yourself, you should not file a claim form as you will not get any compensation if you do. However if you are worried if by not submitting you would lose out on both, then go ahead and fill out the form too. However before you do that, talk to the administrator to find out if your exclusion letter has been received and if all the information that is contained in it is adequate.

Lucky Brand Text Message Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Lucky Brand Text Message Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

 

If you got text messages from Lucky Brand Jeans that you had not signed up for, you may be entitled to get compensation. You would have received these messages from 88202. This is the abbreviated phone number or short code. This is in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act as you did not sign up for this and hence did not give your consent to get the messages.

 

In order to get compensation in the Lucky Brand Text Message Class Action Lawsuit Settlement, you must have received the text messages from the short code between August 24, 2008 to September 15, 2008. The text message was an advertisement for Lucky Brand Jeans which was a Back to School promotion. There a number of different messages that you could have received. All of them would say that you would get $25 off and how you could get it by replying to the message. You can get a list of the messages at the settlement website.

 

If you are wondering what you would get if you were to apply, you would basically get about $100. This amount of course will depend on a number of factors. One of them is the total number of valid claims that are filed. There are about 216,711 people who are eligible to get the money if they file the claims. The less people who submit, the more you will get.

 

Even though the company has denied all wrongdoing, I feel that this is one case that is justified. I do not like getting text messages from companies that I had not signed up to receive text messages from. It is very annoying indeed and sometimes some of these companies make it even harder to opt out of. I have even had some companies provide wrong information or direct you to a website that does not exist if you want to opt out. I used to get at least one message a day until I threatened to sue. There was no other option for me as I just could not get them to stop.

 

So if you did receive these annoying text messages and you had not consented to getting them, then I definitely think you should submit a Lucky Brand Text Message Class Action Lawsuit Settlement claim form. Remember that you will need to send in your claim form by April 19, 2013. You can get this online at the settlement website. If you are considered a class member, you may even have received a claim form in the mail. If you have not moved or changed your address that is. There is also a toll free number at the site that you can call. If you are not sure, I would suggest that you call as you will be able to hopefully talk to someone.

 

You can also always call the class counsel if you need information on this case. The class counsel will be happy to help you as they have been appointed by the Court to do just that and you do not have to worry about paying them. After all, when will you ever get free legal advice? Take advantage of it while you can.

 

Nothing is more annoying than not getting anything because you missed a deadline. So make sure that that does not happen to you and that whatever you want to do you will be able to and get the results that you want.

 

If you ask me, these kinds of text messages should be outlawed. The problem I have is that you pay for your text messages. So if these take up your quota of messages, then you are not able to get messages from your friends and your loved ones. My annoying text messages have finally stopped. For the time being anyway. And if I had a chance to get some money from the annoying ones, I would jump at the chance. So you have the opportunity to do that here. Do not let this one go by even if you are annoyed at the prospect of having to fill out a form. After all you are getting money for filling it out.

Www.WindowSettlement.com – Pella ProLine Window Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Filed under Legal by on 2012/12/10 at 10:41 pm {no comments}

Www.WindowSettlement.com – Pella ProLine Window Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

 

Do you own a home or property that has the Pella ProLine Casement Windows or Awnings, then you may be able to get compensation. Apparently these windows and awnings are defective. There can be possible water intrusion. This can damage your windows or property. So if you them and there has been damage, then you will be able to take part in the settlement at Www.WindowSettlement.com.

 

If you owned them between January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2006 that are the 250 and 450 series, you will be able to fill out the Pella ProLine Window Class Action Lawsuit Settlement claim form at the Www.WindowSettlement.com site. This deadline for filing this is July 23, 2013. You cannot get any compensation if you do not meet this deadline. Like in all other cases of this kind, there are other deadlines that you have to meet if you want to take some kind of legal action.

 

One of these other deadlines is the deadline for you to submit a request to exclude yourself. This means that you do not want to get any compensation. You may have your own reasons for doing this but most people who want to do this have other plans. One of them is that they want to take part in other lawsuits against the company. One reason is how much you can get. If you can get a larger compensation in a different lawsuit, then you should exclude yourself. This other lawsuit could also be one that you file. So you should think carefully if this is what you want to do. If it is, then the deadline to do this is January 29, 2013.

 

If you want to stay in the Pella ProLine Window Class Action Lawsuit Settlement but you wish to object, you can do this by sending in your request in a written form to the administrator by January 29, 2013. If you want to attend the Fairness Hearing, you cannot just show up. You will have to submit a Notice of Intent to Appear and Speak. This means that if you wish to speak at the hearing, you will also have to submit this. And yes, there is a deadline to submit this also. It is actually the same deadline as the exclusion and objection deadlines which is January 29, 2013.

 

So why are there so many deadlines and why do you have to adhere to them. Apparently this is how it works. The dates are extremely important as every legal action that you take is very time sensitive. Anything that is received after the date is not considered valid. So if there are legal actions that you want to take, make sure that you stick to the deadlines.

 

If you are not sure if your windows or awnings are covered in the Pella ProLine Window Class Action Lawsuit Settlement, you can go to the site to read the descriptions and also to view the pictures. What you will need to be aware of is that the double hung windows are not part of the case and if you have these kinds of windows, you will not be able to get compensation. Double hung windows are windows that can be raised or lowered for ventilation.

 

Sometimes I think that what you get is the luck of the draw. One of my friend’s friend has these windows installed in her house. She thought that they would be covered so she filled out the claim form and submitted it. My friend did not want to burst her bubble so she did not say anything. I think I would have said something so that she would not be waiting for her check. However, most of these kinds of cases can take years to settle. So she is hoping that she would eventually forget. I doubt that will happen but all I can do is wait and see.

 

However, I think that she is on the right path. This is because if you are not sure if yours are covered, I would suggest doing the same thing. Just fill out the claim form which you can download from the site and submit it. There is nothing wrong in doing that because if they are covered, you will get a check in the mail. If they are not covered, you have not lost anything but a little bit of time filling out the form.

Southwest Drink Voucher Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Filed under Legal by on 2012/12/05 at 11:12 pm {no comments}

Southwest Drink Voucher Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Part of the lawsuit survives in that the fraud claims have been dismissed but the drinks vouchers or coupons stays. The amount that Southwest has agreed to pay in the Southwest Drink Voucher Class Action Lawsuit Settlement is anywhere from $29 million to $58 million. Some of you may have had your drink vouchers or coupons not accepted by the airline about 2 years ago. The allegation in the original lawsuit is that Southwest breached the contract with the customers as the vouchers had no expiration dates printed on them. So this means that they should always be honored. However they were not.

The airline actually informed all those who flew with them that they would no longer be accepting the drink coupons. The customers who bought the coupons or those who were given the coupons were really upset at this. Apparently those who bought a Business Select seat were given these drink coupons. The two plaintiffs who sued were Adam Levitt and Herbert Malone. The coupons cost $5 each. The plaintiffs had accumulated a lot of coupons which are now worthless. The original lawsuit is Levitt et al. v. Southwest Airlines Co. The case number is 11-08176.

One of the reasons for the airlines not honoring any more drink coupons is because some of the passengers were making copies of the coupons. So the policy was changed. Many people thought that this decision was not fair because they had either purchased or bought many of the coupons for the drinks. So they were not aware that these would ever be revoked as there are no expiration dates on them.

I think maybe this is a good thing. I have seen many people get 4 or more drinks on board the airlines. One or even two would be okay but those who drink too much on an airline is problematic for me. I do not drink myself but I think this is not right. So in a way this is good so that that does not happen. Some people who are drunk can get extremely loud. I like the ones who just pass out. However, I always worry about whether they are still breathing. It always surprises me that the steward or stewardesses who give them the drinks do not check back on them to see if they are okay.

So if you are one of those irate Southwest customer who bought the drink vouchers or who got them with the Business Select ticket, you can now take part in the settlement. There is no information yet on how to file a claim. Once that information becomes available there will usually be a website that you can go to to download the claim form. In most cases you will be able to submit your claim form online. This is the best and fastest route to go so that you do not forget to send it in. Also I do not like going to the post office so in my case, anything that I can do online works best.

For me this is all a storm in a teacup. I understand being upset if you actually bought them. But if you received them, then this should not be an issue at all. I guess maybe it is because I do not drink. An issue I mean. Again if you would like to participate or think you deserve the compensation – whatever it may be – then you may even be getting a postcard in the mail. So do keep a lookout for that. If you do receive one of these postcards, then you will be able to get all the information you need. When you get the postcard, there will already be a website that has been set up for this. If you do not get a postcard in the mail but believe that you deserve to get the compensation, then you should still submit the claim form. Just make sure you keep checking online to get the information that you need. At the website you will also get the contact information and the lawyer’s information if you ever have a need to contact them.
