Lucas v. Synchrony Bank

WELCOME TO THE DIANNE LUCAS V. SYNCHRONY BANK SETTLEMENT WEBSITE

This is not a notice of a lawsuit against you.

Dianne Lucas sued Synchrony alleging that it placed artificial or prerecorded voice calls to cellular telephone numbers in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 47 U.S.C. § 227. Synchrony denies the allegations against it, and denies that it violated the TCPA.

A settlement will result in a $2.6 million fund to fully settle and release claims of persons (1) to whom Synchrony placed, or caused to be placed (either by one of its own employees or by an agent or vendor), a call, (2) directed to a telephone number assigned to a cellular telephone service, (3) by using an artificial or prerecorded voice, (4) from October 16, 2020 through November 18, 2022, (5) where the subject of the call was a Synchrony account that did not belong to the recipient of the call, and (6) where the recipient of the call did not provide Synchrony the telephone number to which it placed, or caused to be placed, the call.

The settlement fund will be used to pay settlement amounts to class members who elect to participate, after deducting the costs of settlement notice and administration, attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, and a service award to Ms. Lucas
