Question 1

Why is the notice available?

Accepted Answer

This is a notice of a settlement in a class action lawsuit. The settlement would
resolve the class action lawsuit Joseph Bond filed against Folsom Insurance
Agency LLC and Cody Folsom. Please read the Notice
[https://angeion-public.s3.amazonaws.com/www.folsomsettlement.com/docs/Folsom+Longform+Notice_FINAL.pdf]
carefully. It explains the class action lawsuit, the settlement, and legal
rights you may have, including the process for receiving a settlement check,
excluding yourself [faqs?id=10] from the settlement, or objecting [faqs?id=11]
to the settlement.

Question 2

What is the class action about?

Accepted Answer

Mr. Bond filed a class action lawsuit against Folsom Insurance Agency alleging
that Folsom Insurance Agency violated the TCPA by placing certain calls and/or
voicemails to cellular telephone numbers in connection with which Folsom
Insurance Agency used an artificial or prerecorded voice absent prior express
consent. The TCPA allows for damages in the amount of $500 per violation, and up
to $1,500 for willful violations. However, prior express consent is a complete
defense to a claim under the TCPA. You can find additional information about Mr.
Bond’s claims in his Amended Class Action Complaint.

Question 3

Why is this a class action?

Accepted Answer

In a class action, one or more people called “class representatives” file a
class action lawsuit on behalf of people who have similar claims. All of these
people together are a “class” or “class members.” The court accordingly resolves
claims for all class members at once, except for those who first exclude
themselves [faqs?id=10] from the class.

Question 4

Why is there a settlement?

Accepted Answer

Mr. Bond, on the one hand, and Folsom Insurance Agency, on the other, have
agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the time, risk, and expense
associated with it, and to achieve a final resolution of the disputed claims.
Under the settlement, settlement class members will obtain a payment in
settlement of claims Mr. Bond raised in the class action lawsuit. Mr. Bond and
his attorneys think the settlement is fair and reasonable.

Question 5

How do you know if your claims are included in the settlement?

Accepted Answer

The settlement resolves claims on behalf of the following settlement class:

All persons throughout the United States (1) to whose cellular telephone number
or other number for which they are charged for a call or voicemail (2) that Cody
Folsom and/or Folsom Insurance Agency, LLC (or an agent acting on their behalf)
placed a call and/or a voicemail to (3) between February 29, 2020, through
September 15, 2026 (4) using an identical or substantially similar pre-recorded
message used to place telephone calls and/or voicemails to Plaintiff (5) as
included in the 41,719 phone numbers identified in the Expert Report of Aaron
Woolfson.
