Who Is BuyAlerts and Why Are They Being Sued for Unwanted Text Messages?

BuyAlerts is a fintech company based in Miami, and it marketed its products and services by text message. That put it under two laws that police marketing texts: the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Florida’s Telephone Solicitation Act. The complaint says it kept texting anyway.

If you ever replied STOP to a BuyAlerts text and the messages kept coming, this case is about you.

What Did BuyAlerts Do to Text Message Recipients Between January 1, 2022 and August 7, 2026?

Plaintiffs say BuyAlerts sent more than one marketing text within a 12-month period to people who had replied “stop” or a similar opt-out, or whose numbers were on the National Do Not Call Registry. They say those people never agreed to be contacted. A window of over four years.

Those two laws limit marketing texts to people who’ve said no or signed up for the Do Not Call list. BuyAlerts denies all wrongdoing. Both sides agreed to settle instead of facing the cost, delay and risk of a trial, and the settlement site puts it plainly: “The Court has not decided who is correct.”

Texts aren’t the only target. Marketing messages sit at the center of other recent cases too, including the CookUnity false email headlines lawsuit, which is about emails instead of texts.

The claim form doesn’t ask you to prove a loss. It asks who you are.

Who Qualifies for the BuyAlerts Text Message Settlement?

Do I qualify for the BuyAlerts settlement? Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

• People who received more than one BuyAlerts text within any 12-month period after replying “stop” or a similar opt-out
• Anyone whose number was on the National Do Not Call Registry when those BuyAlerts texts arrived
• Recipients of texts sent by or on behalf of BuyAlerts to sell its products or services between January 1, 2022 and August 7, 2026

The complaint describes people who didn’t consent to the texts, so recipients who agreed to them likely fall outside. So do texts sent outside those dates. The court certified three classes for settlement purposes only, and the exact wording of each is in the Long Form Notice on the settlement site.

Did BuyAlerts keep texting after you said stop? Then find that Notice.

BuyAlerts Text Message Recipients Outside Florida — Are You Still Covered?

This is a Florida state court case, and BuyAlerts is based in Miami. But the settlement site describes the class by who got the texts, not where they live, and it names no state limit. Whether every state is covered: UNVERIFIED — the Long Form Notice wouldn’t open, so call (323) 237-8770 if you’re outside Florida.

How Much Can BuyAlerts Text Message Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $42.16 Per Person

Eligible people who file a valid claim get up to $42.16 each. You can submit only one claim form. BuyAlerts agreed to make up to $3,600,000 available to pay valid claims and the costs below.

BuyAlerts Payout — Up to $42.16

There’s one amount, not tiers. The settlement site doesn’t say how checks change if claims exceed the fund: UNVERIFIED — the Settlement Agreement wouldn’t open. Payment method and timing are also UNVERIFIED, though the online form does have a Payment Information step.

Quick tax note. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099, and up to $42.16 sits far below that, but check with a tax professional if you’re unsure.

Where the $3,600,000 Goes Before You Get Paid

The fund also pays for notice and administration, any attorneys’ fees and expenses the court awards, and service awards for the class representatives. The fee amount is UNVERIFIED because the settlement site doesn’t state it. Divide $3,600,000 by $42.16 and you get at most about 85,388 full payments, before any of those costs come out. That’s my math.

Honestly, $42.16 won’t change your month. But a five-section form for texts you may have already deleted is a fair trade.

How to File Your BuyAlerts Text Message Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Find your Notice and copy the Unique ID printed on it.
2. Go to buyalertstcpasettlement.com and click “Claim Form.” That opens the Kroll claim portal.

4. Enter your contact information.
5. Enter your payment information. Available payment options: UNVERIFIED.
6. Complete the attestation and signature, submit, and save any confirmation the site shows you.

There’s no proof to upload. The form has five sections in all.

139 days from today sounds like plenty. That’s how deadlines get missed.

Should BuyAlerts Class Members Opt Out or Object Before January 4, 2027?

What Opting Out of the BuyAlerts Settlement Actually Means

Excluding yourself means no payment, but you keep the right to sue BuyAlerts on your own over the released telemarketing claims. Most people shouldn’t do it without legal advice. The deadline is January 4, 2027, and the steps are in the Long Form Notice.

How to Object to the BuyAlerts Settlement

Objecting means you stay in the class and tell the court why you don’t like the settlement. The deadline is also January 4, 2027, and the court is the Miami-Dade Circuit Court. The required format and address are UNVERIFIED here, because the Long Form Notice wouldn’t open. You can also ask to speak about fairness at the February 1, 2027 hearing.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before January 4, 2027 if you’re considering either option.
