Eugene Mannacio v. Sovereign Lending Group Incorporated

W.D. Wash. Case No. 22-cv-05498

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON

All persons in the United States who received calls from Sovereign Lending Group between November 29, 2017 and October 2, 2023, including while they were on the National Do Not Call Registry or despite making a request that the caller stop calling.

IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THIS CLASS OF PERSONS, YOU SHOULD READ THE NOTICE CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

A Settlement (“Settlement”) has been proposed in the class action lawsuit referenced above pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, titled Eugene Mannacio v. Sovereign Lending Group Incorporated, W.D. Wash. Case No. 22-cv-05498 (“Action”).  You may be a class member in the proposed Settlement and may be entitled to participate in the proposed Settlement.

The United States District Court for the Western District of Washington has ordered the issuance of this notice in this Action.  Sovereign Lending Group Incorporated (“Defendant” or “Sovereign Lending”) denies it did anything wrong and has defended itself throughout the lawsuit.  The Court has not decided who is right.  Both sides have agreed to settle the dispute to avoid burdensome and costly litigation.

If the Court gives final approval to the Settlement, Sovereign Lending will create a fund of $500,000. If you submit a valid Claim Form, you may be eligible to obtain a share from this fund in the amount of approximately $75-150 depending on the number of claims that are submitted.  The value of a Settlement Class Member’s individual award will depend upon the number of Settlement Class Members who file valid Claim Forms.

The Final Approval Hearing date is February 27, 2024 at 1:30 pm.
