Simply Fashion, ExactTarget Unwanted Text Message Settlement Notes
- Simms v. ExactTarget LLC
- Case No. 1:14-cv-00737-WTL-DLP
- Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana
Plaintiff Latonya Simms brought this class action lawsuit against ExactTarget alleging the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending unwanted text message spam to her and other Class members’ cell phones, without their consent.
Specifically, Simms claims that ExactTarget on behalf of Simply Fashion stores repeatedly sent unsolicited and unwanted text messages using an automated telephone dialing system, some which had an opt-out method and some that did not.. These unwanted text messages advertised store sales promos for Simply Fashion, such as “BOGO 50% off ALL dresses until Mother’s Day! Celebrate your Mom in style. See store for details. FWD to a friend! Reply STOP to be removed.”
Simms says she replied “STOP” to these text messages and received receipt by ExactTarget of her request to be removed. However, despite this confirmation, she continued to receive the unwanted text messages on at least 7 more times over a period of a month.
The TCPA strictly forbids nuisance and intrusive texts like Simms’ alleges she received from ExactTarget on behalf of Simply Fashion stores to consumers’ cell phones without their consent.
ExactTarget denies any wrongdoing. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Simply Fashion ExactTarget TCPA settlement website.

Settlement Website
Has any decision been made in this settlement.
I been wondering to about the decision there’s no update
I think we were cheaped out the settlement 243.14 really
Any decision made on this yet?
Looks like on the settlement website simms was granted $5000.00 but it didn’t say anything about everyone else claim. Every time i call i never receive a phone call back.
no answers… the lady that called me back was rude…. all she said is we don’t have a distribution date and was acting like it was her money or a darn bill collecter
I received the following email just recently… “Thank you contacting the Settlement Administrator for Simms v. Exactarget settlement. At this time, we have received the final approval. All settlement payments are expected to go out towards the end of the year.”
I have not received a response each time I have inquired with them via email.
I got one yesterday after several tries to anyone listed on the final disposition.. I emailed every lawyer listed.
