Welcome to the Information Website for the Breda v. Cellco Partnership Settlement

If you received calls on your cellular telephone from Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”), you may be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement.

A proposed settlement will provide $3,950,000.00 (the “Settlement Funds”) to fully settle and release claims of the Settlement Class, which is defined as the: (1) 61,485 persons in the United States (2) whose cellular telephone number (3) was listed as a “can be reached” number on a Verizon account and (4) received a prerecorded collection call from Defendant (5) during which the person answering the call pressed a key or keys indicating that Defendant was calling the wrong number, and which (6) thereafter received at least one additional prerecorded collection call from Defendant on the same telephone number and concerning the same Defendant account (7) within four years of the filing of the complaint in this action.

Excluded from the Settlement Class are any judges to whom the Action was assigned and any member of the Court’s staff and immediate family (to the extent they received a listed call) and all persons who opt-out of or are otherwise excluded from the Settlement Class.


Summary of Your Legal Rights and Options in this Settlement
Submit a Claim Form

If you submit a valid Claim Form postmarked by March 7, 2022, you will receive a payment and will give up your rights to sue Verizon and any other Released Parties related to a Released Claim. Claim Forms may be submitted by mail to Breda TCPA Settlement, c/o Epiq, P.O. Box 3685, Portland, OR 97208-3685, or through this Settlement Website by clicking here or by calling 1-855-675-3077.
Exclude Yourself or “Opt-Out” of the Settlement

If you ask to be excluded, you will not receive a payment. This is the only option that allows you to pursue your own claims against Verizon or other Released Parties related to a Released Claim. The deadline for excluding yourself is March 7, 2022.
Object to the Settlement

If you wish to object to the Settlement, you must write to the Court about why you believe the Settlement is unfair in any respect. The deadline for objecting is March 7, 2022. To obtain a benefit from this Settlement, you must still submit a Claim Form. If you submit only an objection without a Claim Form, you will not receive any benefit from the Settlement and you will give up your rights to sue Verizon or any other Released Parties related to a Released Claim.
Do Nothing

If you do nothing, you will not receive any monetary award and you will give up your rights to sue Verizon or any other Released Parties related to a Released Claim.
Go to the Final Approval Hearing

You may attend the Final Approval Hearing. At the Final Approval Hearing you may ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Settlement. To speak at the Final Approval Hearing, you must file a document which includes your name, address, telephone number, and your signature with the Court, which must also state your intention to appear at the Final Approval Hearing. This must be filed no later than April 12, 2022.

These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Notice.

Current Status

The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. Payments will be disbursed if the Court approves the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved. Please be patient.
