You are a Class Member if, during the period from January 3, 2022, through January 3, 2023, you participated in one or more inbound or outbound telephone calls on your cellular or cordless telephone with Century Automotive’s employee(s) or representative(s) and may have had your call recorded without being notified that your call was being recorded.
If you received a notice of this proposed settlement by mail or email, Century Automotive has records indicating that you are a member of the Class and you are automatically entitled to receive a Settlement Payment. If you did not receive notice of this proposed settlement by mail or email, you might still be a member of the Class, but you will need to submit a Claim Form.
This class action case alleges that Century Automotive Service Corporation (“Century Automotive”) violated California laws that prohibit the recording of telephone calls without the consent of all parties to the conversation. The case covers persons who, between January 3, 2022, through January 3, 2023, inclusive, participated in one or more inbound or outbound telephone calls on their cellular or cordless telephone with Century Automotive’s employee(s) or representative(s) and may have had their calls recorded without being notified that their calls were being recorded (“Settlement Class”).
Both sides agreed to a settlement to avoid the uncertainty and cost of class certification and a trial and to provide benefits to Class Members more promptly. The Court did not decide in favor of plaintiff Sergio Rosales (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”) or defendant Century Automotive Service Corporation (“Defendant”). Defendant denies any liability or wrongdoing of any kind associated with the claims in this class action.
