Did you receive an unwanted text from Uber in the past 7 years? You may be eligible to claim money from a $20 million class action settlement over claims the ridesharing service violated the law by sending text messages to persons who had not consented to receive them. The amount from the Uber text spam settlement will depend on how many people file timely and valid claims, so it cannot be determined at this time. However, we have seen other text spam class action settlements pay out as much as $25, $50, $100 or more.
