Winston v. Peacock TV LLC

A federal court authorized the Notice and this website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

A Proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Peacock TV LLC (“Defendant” or “Peacock”). The class action lawsuit alleges that Peacock automatically renewed its video streaming subscription offerings (the “Peacock Subscriptions”) and charged customers’ payment methods without providing the disclosures and authorizations required by California law.

Peacock denies these claims. The Court has not ruled in favor of Plaintiff or Peacock. Instead, the Parties agreed to the Proposed Settlement to avoid the expense and risks of continuing the lawsuit. Peacock chose to settle this case, without admitting liability, to focus time, effort, and resources on continuing to provide valued content to its viewers, and not on additional legal fees and the uncertainty of litigation.

The Settlement Class is defined as:

All Persons who, from September 15, 2019, to and through February 27, 2024, enrolled in an automatically renewing Peacock Subscription directly through Peacock using a California billing address, and were charged and paid an automatic Renewal Fee(s) in connection with such subscription.

Those included in the Settlement will be eligible to receive a pro rata (meaning proportional) cash payment from the Settlement Fund, which Class Counsel estimates to be approximately $18.33.

To receive a payment, you must submit a timely and complete Claim Form by mail or online, postmarked or submitted no later than November 13, 2024. Your payment will come by check or the payment method you choose (such as a digital MasterCard, PayPal, or Venmo).
