Sirius XM $28M Settlement Over Do Not Call TCPA Telemarketing Calls Claims Open

The lawsuit centers on telemarketing calls allegedly made by Sirius XM to people who had taken steps to stop such outreach—either by placing their numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry or by asking Sirius XM directly to add them to its internal “do not call” list. Under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and related FCC rules, telemarketers generally must honor the National Registry (after a 31-day window) and maintain company-specific do-not-call procedures; repeated solicitation calls to covered numbers can expose companies to statutory damages per violation. The proposed settlement creates a $28 million fund for people in the U.S. who allegedly received more than one Sirius XM solicitation call within a 12-month period between April 27, 2019 and October 31, 2025 under those do-not-call circumstances, with claims due March 21, 2026 and final approval scheduled for May 11, 2026. The case was filed to seek compensation and to challenge alleged noncompliance with do-not-call obligations—rules meant to curb unwanted, repetitive marketing calls and give consumers enforceable control over their phones. Sirius XM denies wrongdoing, and the court has not ruled on the merits; instead, the parties agreed to a settlement to avoid the expense and uncertainty of continued litigation. Its significance is practical as much as financial: large TCPA settlements reinforce that do-not-call requirements are not merely best practices but compliance duties, and they also highlight how class actions can aggregate many smaller harms—annoyance, privacy intrusion, and time costs—into a meaningful enforcement mechanism when individual claims might be too small to pursue alone. More broadly, this fits a long-running pattern of TCPA class actions targeting mass-dialing and telemarketing campaigns across industries such as telecom, retail, insurance, and subscription services, where marketing scale can collide with consent and do-not-call restrictions. These cases often turn on recordkeeping (when a number was added to the National Registry, whether a company-specific opt-out was logged, and how dialing systems and vendor call centers were managed), and they encourage companies to tighten compliance programs—scrubbing call lists against the Registry, promptly honoring internal opt-outs, auditing third-party marketers, and documenting consent and suppression lists to reduce the risk of repeat-call violations.
