- Claim filing process available online or by mail

One of the last things someone wants to hear when answering a phone call is an obnoxious artificial or prerecorded voice on the other end of the receiver. When such an event happens without permission, and to a large number of people, the end concoction may very well be a class action lawsuit. Strache v. SCI Direct, Inc was filed over allegations that the Defendant violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) when it (or companies working on its behalf) placed calls without permission through the use of an artificial or prerecorded voice. The suit further claims that calls were made to consumers without a proper “Do Not Call” policy in effect. However, it should be made clear that the merits of these allegations have not been decided upon in court as both parties have agreed to settle the case prior to trial for a jaw-dropping $15 MILLION. Those who believe they are entitled to a slice of this massive Settlement Fund can begin the process of staking a claim by going to the SCI Direct Settlement page and clicking the File Claim button.
