Consumers who have mortgage loan or car loan with Bank of America or received harassing debt collection calls from the bank can claim into the Bank of America TCPA Settlement on boatcpasettlement.com to get cash refund of $20 or more.
The class action lawsuit has been filed in Florida federal court against Bank of America to make harassing debt collection calls to customers’ cell phones. The settlement has been filed in the court on behalf of 7.7 million of the bank’s credit card and mortgage loan customers. And now, Bank of America has agreed to pay $32 million to settle charges. If you obtained non-emergency mortgage or credit card default servicing call or text message on your cell phone between August 30, 2007 and January 31, 2013 (“Mortgage Calls”) or between May 16, 2007 and January 31, 2013 (“Credit Card Calls”) or between February 22, 2009 and December 31, 2010 (“Credit Card Texts”), from the Bank of America through the use of an automated telephone dialing system, then you can file a claim for payment from this class action settlement.
All eligible consumers will get postcard or email notice for getting refund about harassing debt collection calls. If you have not got any notice from the Bank of America for filing a claim, then you can file a claim through its official webpage, boatcpasettlement.com. Making auto-dialed calls to cell phones without consumer’s permission is illegal under Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The lawsuit charged the bank for often making calls to cell phones at all hours of the day. If the defendant will win the case, then Bank of America will pay $20 to $40 to each affected consumer.
