Are You Eligible for Any of September’s Class Action Settlements?

Consumers looking to claim compensation for various infringements such as data breaches, privacy violations, and false advertising can take advantage of ten class action settlements being offered this September. Among them is the $4.1 million settlement with Truist Bank, which faced allegations of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending prerecorded calls to consumers without their consent between February 10, 2019, and August 31, 2022. The lawsuit stated that consumers received robocalls concerning unrelated accounts, leading to a breach of the TCPA as consumers had not given permission to receive such calls. Eligible individuals are not required to complete a claim form and will automatically receive payments if they do not opt-out by September 8, 2025.

Another significant settlement involves Sysco, which agreed to pay $2.3 million to resolve claims related to a 2023 data breach. Consumers who received a cybersecurity notice from Sysco regarding the breach in May 2023 may be entitled to compensation. The lawsuit alleged that the breach exposed sensitive consumer data, prompting affected individuals to incur costs to protect themselves from potential fraud. Plaintiffs argued that Sysco could have prevented the breach by implementing adequate cybersecurity measures. The deadline to submit a claim for this settlement is also September 8, 2025.

Additionally, Albertsons, Safeway, and other grocery store chains have agreed to a $5.95 million settlement to address accusations of violating the TCPA through unsolicited text messages. Eligible individuals who received multiple unsolicited texts from these companies within a year after requesting to opt-out of further messages qualify for compensation. The lawsuit claimed that these companies sent spam texts without obtaining proper consent from consumers as mandated by the TCPA. Consumers were allegedly never given the opportunity to provide consent for such communications. The deadline to file a claim for this settlement is September 10, 2025.

Lastly, Premium Brands OpCo reached an agreement to settle claims of false discount advertising at Ann Taylor Factory and Loft Outlet stores. Consumers who purchased products at purported discounts are eligible for compensation as part of this settlement. The details of the settlement amount were not disclosed. This settlement serves to address allegations that false discounts were used to boost sales at these stores.

In conclusion, consumers who have been affected by these various issues, including data breaches, privacy violations, and misleading advertising, have the opportunity to seek compensation through these class action settlements. The deadlines for filing claims vary, so it is essential for eligible individuals to take action promptly to receive the payments they may be entitled to.
