So if more than 41,667 people file a claim, the award amount will be reduced.

I was wondering about that. Usually that's how those class action lawsuits work. I got $13 once from a class action lawsuit. They take the attorneys' fees and court costs off the top, then split what's left among the claimants.

I always get Ashley and she won't shut up long enough to tell her to take me off the list. I don't know how many times they have called and now it is showing up as a local call.

Wow! I found three of my cell numbers on the list. Thanks for the heads up. It's not about the money as much as the getting the point across about the robo-call nonsense.

So I take it this is legit? Call me paranoid, but I was afraid it was a way to collect phone #'s.

The Lawyers are the ones that come out ahead on most lawsuits. I would not get involved because I think lawyers have enough money. I don't plan to help them.

I get a local number as well but I now realize it's a recording. When I got really angry and raised my voice nothing happened. My son told me it was a recording haha
Very annoying though especially when it comes up as a local area code.

Does anyone else get calls from "Heather" from account services? There is even a button given to push to no longer get calls, but it doesn't work. She just keeps calling.

I"ve done claims for class action lawsuits in the past. I never got much, but I'd get $50 or $100 for filling out a 10 minute form and never had any problems afterwards. The lawyers get paid from the lawsuit money not individuals in this case. I dont' mind them making money if I get some for doing very little.
