Bass Pro Shops will pay $6 million to settle class claims that it illegally recorded incoming and outgoing telephone calls to and from California without informing customers that the calls would be recorded.
A California federal judge - Cynthia Bashant, granted preliminary approval to a class action settlement over allegations that Bass Pro Outdoor World, LLC, BPS Direct, LLC, and Bass Pro, LLC, recorded certain telephone calls received from or placed to California in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act. According to the Bass Pro’s records, 30,000+ customers have been known as class members of the Bass Pro class action settlement; however the actual number of eligible class members could be higher. To file a claim form for Bass Pro Call Recording Settlement, visit the website BassRecordingSettlement.com and follow the instructions for filling up the form.
The Bass Pro call recording class action lawsuit was filed by a customer who alleged the retailer recorded a conversation between him and a Bass Pro customer service representative in which he disclosed personal identification and financial details. Bass Pro denied the allegations, however agreed to settle the call recording class action lawsuit to evade the expense and uncertainty of ongoing lawsuit. You are eligible to get compensation from a call recording class action settlement, if you were in California and used a telephone with a California area code; and you participated in at least one Bass Pro phone call recorded between March 14, 2012, and April 3, 2013.
The $6 million settlement will be divided in this way - attorneys’ fees, litigation costs and service-payment deductions, and $4 million to class members. Besides giving $4 million to class members, the call recording settlement also wants Bass Pro to change its business practices in order that it will not record any inbound telephone calls from California area codes without informing the caller that the call could be recorded. According to the court records, Bass Pro has not recorded outbound calls to California phone numbers since April 4.
