Paradise Exteriors $1.4M TCPA Settlement: Claim up to $575

If you received a telemarketing call from Paradise Exteriors, you may be eligible to claim up to $575 from a class action settlement.

Paradise Exteriors has agreed to pay $1,400,000 to settle a class action lawsuit for alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by making pre-recorded calls to cellular telephone numbers without consent.

Who Can Claim an Award?

The settlement includes all users or subscribers to cellular telephone numbers that were contacted by Paradise Exteriors from November 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022, after having been supplied as referrals by existing customers of Paradise Exteriors. According to the official settlement website, approximately 2,435 individuals are part of this class.

If you received a telemarketing call from Paradise Exteriors during this period and your name and phone number appeared in the calling records obtained for this case, you may be included in the class. Even if you did not receive a postcard notice, you may still be part of the class if your cell phone number appears in the calling records. To verify if your number is included, you can call the Settlement Administrator at (833) 630-7894 and provide your name, cell phone number, and a current email.

How much can class members get??

Class members who submit approved claims shall receive an amount not to exceed $575, less each class member's share of any attorneys' fees and expenses. In the event that claims exceed a certain threshold, the amount will also be reduced by each class member's share of settlement administration expenses.

Important notes:

• Only approved claims will be paid
• Only one claim per class member per telephone number will be validated and deemed an approved claim

Example Calculation

If the total settlement fund is $1,400,000 and there are 2,435 class members, the maximum potential payout per member would be:

Maximum Payout = $1,400,000 / 2,435 ≈ $575

However, this amount will be reduced by the share of attorneys' fees and settlement administration expenses. For instance, if attorneys' fees and expenses total $466,666 (one-third of the settlement sum), the remaining amount for class members would be:

$1,400,000 - $466,666 = $933,334

Dividing this remaining amount by the number of class members:

$933,334 / 2,435 ≈ $383.41

Thus, each class member might receive approximately $383.41, assuming no other deductions.

Is Proof Required to Claim an Award?

Not applicable. The Settlement Administrator already has the information needed to determine class membership.
