What happened

This is a proposed class action against AECIQ, apparently concerning alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The plaintiff, Newman Jr., appears to claim that AECIQ placed unsolicited calls or text messages to consumers without consent. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
