Third Class Action vs. SiriusXM in 3 Weeks Challenges its ‘Deceptive Pricing Scheme’

SiriusXM engages in a “false advertising and deceptive pricing scheme” when it markets and promotes its music plans “at lower prices than it actually charges,” alleged plaintiffs Christopher Carovillano and Steven Brandt in a class action Monday (docket 1:23-cv-04723) in U.S. District Court for Southern New York. It’s the third known fraud class action filed nationally against SiriusXM in as many weeks (see 2305160038). All three challenge SiriusXM’s failure to disclose an allegedly concocted “U.S. music royalty fee,” which increases the true price of its music plans by 21.4% above the advertised and promised price for each plan. All three cases are the work of Hattis & Lukacs in Bellevue, Washington, or DeNittis Osefchen in New York and Marlton, New Jersey. SiriusXM didn’t comment.
