What's Happening?
SiriusXM has agreed to a $28 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit alleging the company made repeated calls to individuals on do-not-call lists. The lawsuit, filed in 2022, claimed that SiriusXM contacted
people who had registered on the National Do Not Call Registry or requested not to be called. Despite denying any wrongdoing, SiriusXM agreed to the settlement, which was initially filed in October 2025. The settlement includes provisions for individuals who were contacted by SiriusXM between April 27, 2019, and October 31, 2025, under specific conditions.
Why It's Important?
This settlement underscores the importance of compliance with telemarketing regulations and the potential financial repercussions for companies that fail to adhere to them. It highlights consumer rights and the role of the National Do Not Call Registry in protecting individuals from unwanted telemarketing calls. The case may encourage other companies to review their telemarketing practices to avoid similar legal challenges and settlements.
What's Next?
Affected individuals have until March 21 to file a claim and until March 27 to file objections to the settlement. A final approval hearing is scheduled for May 11, where the court will consider any objections. This case may lead to increased regulatory scrutiny of telemarketing practices and potentially stricter enforcement of do-not-call regulations.
