AT&T, T-Mobile sold real-time location data: Make a legal claim under their ToS

[sithlord]

Read the terms, basically you agree to give them 20% of the claim, if its less than 20 dollars, you still agree to pay 20 dollars to them - also if ATT or whoever takes some money off your bill you have to pay 10% of that...

I have filled out a lot of class action type things, it takes like 5 minutes...

Don't give your information to this company.

Also, find this kinda comical

You understand that Radvocate spends significant time and money pursuing your Claim

followed by:

If you fail to respond to multiple requests for information about the status or outcome of your Claim from Radvocate (“Ghosting”), you authorize Radvocate to charge any payment card connected to your account for $30 - the approximate cost of preparing, delivering and managing your Claim

Hesitating if it makes sense to reply to every skeptical comment, but the legal background here is actually pretty interesting:

There are actually no more class action suits against most big companies that you've signed a contract with:

Thanks to Supreme Court decisions over the last decade your only option is typically to go through an opaque individual arbitration process – https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/12/decade-class-act...

And very few people actually do this – https://myradvocate.com/press/2019-q3-consumer-arbitration-c...

Our mission is to give people more access to this consumer arbitration process. And our business model is that when they win we will receive a commission.

Most of our business to-date has been helping people take on telcos over issues they've experienced as individuals (like when a company promises to buy out your old contract if you sign up, and then after you've signed up tells you "sorry, no")

Am I being weird, or does this look like a shameless plug? Feels shady to me unless you're willing to disclose what you get out of this.

[mjkornbl]

Yes, it's a plug. Radvocate is a product; we make money if you use us... But only if you get money out of it. If we file documents for you and guide you through the process we ask for a commission on any compensation you get out of it.

[Spooky23]

They do disclose. 20%

[nbar1]

I wouldn't give this website my information.

Stay tuned -- we're working on a new and better one.
