Class action lawsuits are one of the few legal tools that allow everyday people to stand up against large corporations. And when companies settle these cases, eligible individuals may receive significant payouts — sometimes hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
One current case worth checking is the $20 million class action settlement involving Realogy Holdings Corp., the parent company of Coldwell Banker. If you received certain telemarketing calls in the past, you could be eligible for a $281 payout, but only if you submit your claim before the deadline on July 3, 2025.
Here’s everything you need to know about this settlement, who qualifies, and how to make sure you don’t miss out.
Importance
Class action lawsuits are filed when a large group of people has experienced the same injustice from a company or organization. Instead of filing hundreds of individual lawsuits, all the claims are combined into one.
This allows the plaintiffs to:
- Strengthen their legal power against a well-funded company
- Avoid paying large individual legal fees
- Receive compensation faster through a group settlement
Defendants usually don’t admit wrongdoing. Instead, they agree to settle, often for millions of dollars, to resolve the matter without admitting liability.
Realogy
In this case, Realogy Holdings Corp. (the parent of Coldwell Banker) has agreed to pay $20 million to resolve claims that the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
The lawsuit centers around unsolicited telemarketing calls made by real estate agents affiliated with Coldwell Banker between June 11, 2015, and December 3, 2020.
These calls were allegedly made using automated dialers like Mojo, PhoneBurner, and Storm, and were directed to phone numbers listed on the National Do Not Call Registry.
Under the TCPA, these types of calls are illegal if:
- The recipient’s number was on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days
- The individual received two or more telemarketing calls within a 12-month period
- The calls were made using automated dialing systems or included pre-recorded or artificial voice messages
Eligibility
You may be eligible for a payout if you:
- Received two or more telemarketing calls within 12 months from Coldwell Banker-affiliated real estate agents
- Your number was listed on the National Do Not Call Registry for 31+ days before the calls
- Calls were made using Mojo, PhoneBurner, Storm dialers, or featured pre-recorded messages
- The calls occurred between June 11, 2015, and December 3, 2020
If you meet these requirements and submit a valid claim, you could receive up to $281, depending on how many other people file.
Deadlines
To receive compensation, pay close attention to these key dates:
| Event | Deadline |

| Submit claim for payment | July 3, 2025 |
| Opt-out or object to the case | July 3, 2025 |

It’s important to submit your claim before July 3. Missing the deadline means forfeiting any payment.
Other
While this Realogy case is one of the more publicized current class actions, other settlements are also approaching deadlines.
For example, the WellNow Urgent Care case allows for claims up to $7,500 due to a cybersecurity breach that exposed sensitive patient information, including Social Security numbers.
| Case | Payout Potential | Claim Deadline | Final Hearing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Realogy Holdings Corp | $281 | July 3, 2025 | August 28, 2025 |
