Coldwell Banker Real Estate – $20 million
Realogy Holdings Corp. which owns Coldwell Banker is paying a class action settlement of $20 million over allegations it violated the Telephone Consumer Protect Act – something it denies.
The complaint alleges that the company failed to get written consent from consumers before contacting them with telemarketing calls.
What’s a class-action settlement?
Class action lawsuits offer groups of people, or ‘classes,’ a way to band together in court.
These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.
When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.
Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.
Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.
People can claim if they got two or more telemarketing calls from a Coldwell Banker-linked estate agent using a dialer system and pre-recorded messages within a period of 12 months.
This must have been on a number that was on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days between June 11, 2015 and December 3, 2020.
Those who got a call from a Coldwell-Banker estate agent or one of its affiliates that had an automated or pre-recorded message between the same dates can also file a claim.
The estimated payout is around $281 but the true value will only be decided once all claim forms have been submitted here by July 3.
Navvis and SSM Health – $6.5 million
A settlement from health care providers Navvis and SSM Health will pay out $6.5 million following a 2023 data breach.

Neither company working in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin have admitted any wrongdoing in agreeing to settle
Class members can claim up to $7,000 for suffering ordinary and extraordinary losses related to the breach.
