Hi, I’m Orland Howell. I’ve spent four years writing about lawsuit settlements in simple words. I help people understand their rights. This article explains the Everything Breaks TCPA settlement in very easy Wordings. You’ll learn what it is, who can get money, and how to claim your share. Everything comes from court documents, so it’s true and clear. Let’s start!
What Is This Settlement About?
Everything Breaks is a company that sells warranties. They fix or replace broken things. But in 2023, they got in trouble. They kept calling people to sell plans, even when people said, “Stop calling!” This broke a law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
The TCPA protects you from unwanted sales calls. It says companies can’t call if you don’t want them to. Many people put their phone numbers on a free list called the National Do Not Call Registry. It tells companies, “Don’t call me.” Some people also told Everything Breaks directly to stop, but the calls didn’t stop.
This led to a lawsuit called Campbell v. Everything Breaks Inc. in court. The company agreed to pay $995,000 to fix the problem. This money goes to people who got those calls. They don’t say they did anything wrong, but they settled to end the fight. The court said okay on December 11, 2024. A final meeting is on June 4, 2025.
Why Did This Happen?
Imagine your phone rings. It’s a sales call for a warranty you don’t want. You say, “Stop calling,” or add your number to the Do Not Call list. But the calls keep coming. This happened to a man named Stephan Campbell, who started the lawsuit.
The lawsuit said Everything Breaks did these wrong things:
- Called people on the Do Not Call list.
- Kept calling after people said, “Stop.”
- Used lists to find phone numbers. These lists are named EBI_000029 or EBI_000030 in court papers.
These actions break the TCPA law from 1991. It protects your phone from robocalls or sales calls you didn’t allow. I’ve talked to people who felt annoyed by these calls. That’s why this lawsuit helps many people together. The calls happened from March 1, 2023, to March 15, 2024.
Who Can Get Money?
Not everyone gets money. You need to be part of the “class” the court approved. Here’s who can join:
You can get money if you:
- Got two or more sales calls from Everything Breaks between March 1, 2023, and March 15, 2024.
- Your phone was on the Do Not Call Registry for 31 days or more, or you got two or more calls after the company marked your number as “Do Not Call” or “Already Covered.”
- Your number is on their lists (EBI_000029 or EBI_000030).
Did you get a notice by mail or email? It means you’re probably eligible. The notice may have a claim number and PIN. No notice? You can still check at www.campbelltcpasettlement.com.
I’ve seen people miss out because they don’t check old calls. Look at your phone’s call history. If you’re not sure, the website has a form to ask questions.
You must file a claim to get money. If you don’t, you get nothing. Filing means you agree not to sue Everything Breaks on your own for these calls. That’s normal for these settlements.
How Much Money Can You Get?
The $995,000 is split after paying lawyers and other costs (about 30-40%). Each person gets $36 to $144. The amount depends on how many people file.
- Basic Amount: At least $36 per phone number.
- More Money: Up to $144 if you show proof of more calls, like call logs.
If fewer people claim, you get more. If many claim, you might get $36. I’ve seen payouts in other TCPA cases, and they’re often $50 to $100.
Is it taxable? Usually not, because it’s for harm. If it’s over $600, you might get a tax form. Ask a tax person for help.
How to Claim Your Money
It’s easy to get your money. Follow these steps.
Step 1: See If You Qualify
- Go to www.campbelltcpasettlement.com.
- Look for “Am I a Class Member?”
- Put in your phone number or notice details.
- If you qualify, get a claim form.
No notice? Call or email the administrator (info on the website).
Step 2: Find Proof
You don’t need much proof, but it helps for more money. Gather:
- Call logs showing Everything Breaks calls.
- Dates from March 1, 2023, to March 15, 2024.
- Notes about the calls (like sales talks).
- Any emails or letters you sent saying, “Stop.”
Keep screenshots or papers. No proof? You can still get $36.
Step 3: Fill Out the Form
- Online: Go to the website and click “File a Claim.” Use your claim number and PIN if you have them.
- Add your name, address, phone, and email.
- Say how many calls you got (at least two).
- Upload proof if you have it.
- Sign the form. Be honest—it’s serious.
Want a paper form? Download it from the website, fill it out, and mail it to the address shown.
Step 4: Send It Before the Deadline
- The deadline is likely September 2025, about 90 days after the June 4, 2025, hearing. Check the website for the exact date.
- Checks come 60-90 days after approval.
Step 5: Check Your Claim
- See your claim status on the website.
- If it’s denied, send more proof to fix it.
I’ve helped people with claims. My advice: File early. Websites get slow near deadlines.
When Is the Deadline?
File your claim by the deadline, probably August or September 2025, after the June 4, 2025, hearing. Check www.campbelltcpasettlement.com for the exact date.
If you miss it, you get no money. I’ve seen many miss out by forgetting. Set a reminder today!
You can say no to the settlement or leave it by May 2025. Check the website for dates.
Questions People Ask
Here are answers to common questions I hear.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
No. The form is easy. The website has free help if you need it.
No Notice—Can I Still Claim?
Yes. Check your phone number on the website.
Is the Money Taxed?
Usually not, but over $600 might need a tax form. Ask a tax expert.
Will They Call Again?
The settlement stops calls to class members. Tell them if they call again.
What If I Sued Them Already?
Talk to your lawyer. You might not qualify.
I got these from people asking about other cases.
Why the TCPA Is Important
The TCPA keeps your phone quiet. It says:
- No sales calls to Do Not Call numbers.
- Stop calling if you say so within 30 days.
- No robocalls to cell phones without your okay.
Breaking these rules costs companies $500 per call, or $1,500 if they meant to. That’s why they settle.
In 2024-2025, I followed many TCPA cases. Big ones include Zales ($7.5M) and Realogy ($20M). Even wrong numbers cost a lot, like Blue Cross’s $1.6M deal. This settlement is smaller but shows every company must follow the law.
The TCPA helps you. Sign up at donotcall.gov. It’s free and stops most junk calls.
How to Stop Junk Calls
Try these to avoid more calls:
- Join the Do Not Call Registry.
- Use apps like Nomorobo.
- Let unknown calls go to voicemail.
- Tell the FCC about bad calls at fcc.gov/complaints.
People I’ve helped say these cut down calls a lot.
What Happens After You File?
The administrator checks your claim in 4-6 weeks. If okay, you get a check. If not, send more proof.
The website stays up for years. The lawyers for this case have won over $100M in TCPA cases. They know what they’re doing.
Conclusion
The Everything Breaks TCPA settlement offers you a chance to claim $36 to $144 for unwanted calls received between March 1, 2023, and March 15, 2024. With a $995,000 fund, this settlement compensates people affected by these calls. Filing a claim is straightforward, but you must act before the deadline, likely in September 2025.
