Clearwire Debt Collection Calls

The settlement covers people called by on behalf of Clearwire by their debt collection agency in the following four categories:

• Revoked Consent – Clearwire customers who received calls after asking Clearwire or its vendors not to call
• Non-Customer Claims – non-Clearwire customers who received calls on behalf of Clearwire
• Cell Calls – Cleawire customers who signed up before April 1, 2010 and who received robocalls on their cell phones
• Washington State Calls – people who received robocalls on any telephone in Washington State

The settlement pays $25 per offending call up to a maximum of $100.

Clearwire will also forgive all debts owed by class members as of April 30, 2010 that were still unpaid as of December 7, 2012.

The plaintiffs alleged that internet providers Clearwire used a debt collection vendor that made collection calls in violation of state and federal laws.
