This is the official website for the settlement in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California for the case known as Brown v.
DIRECTV, LLC, Case No. 2:13-cv-01170. Plaintiff says that DIRECTV, through four
debt collection agencies (Credit Management, LP (“CMI), iQor, Inc. (“iQor”),
AFNI, Inc. (“AFNI”), and Enhanced Recovery Company, Inc. (“ERC”)) made debt
collection calls using prerecorded messages to the cellular telephones of
individuals who were not DIRECTV customers. Plaintiff says that these calls
violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) because DIRECTV did not
have the prior express consent to make calls using prerecorded messages to the
cellular telephones of these non-customers, as is required by the law. DIRECTV
disagrees and argues that it should not held responsible for calls from the debt
collection agencies, and that the calls do not violate of the law. Both parties
agreed to a Settlement instead of going to trial to avoid the cost and
uncertainty of a trial, as well as appeals of the Court’s decisions.

The Settlement Class includes all persons residing within the United States who,
within four years prior to and after the filing of this action, received a
non-emergency telephone call(s) from DIRECTV and/or iQor, CMI, AFNI, or ERC
regarding a debt allegedly owed to DIRECTV, to a cellular telephone through the
use of an artificial or prerecorded voice, and who has not been a DIRECTV
customer at any time since October 1, 2004. The Settlement Class encompasses
only persons associated with the telephone numbers and calls during the
Settlement Class Period in Plaintiff’s summary judgment motions.
DIRECTV has agreed to create a common fund of $17,000,000 to pay cash awards to
Settlement Class Members, pay the costs of administration of the settlement, and
pay attorneys’ fees, expenses, and an incentive award to the Class
Representative as approved by the Court. If you submit a valid and timely claim,
and you received calls from CMI or iQor, you will receive two pro-rata shares of
the settlement fund, after deducting administrative expenses, any payments to
the class representative, and attorneys’ fees and expenses as approved by the
Court. If you received calls from AFNI or ERC, you will receive one pro-rata
share.

YOU MUST SUBMIT A VALID AND TIMELY CLAIM FORM TO RECEIVE A CASH AWARD.
