Latest in String of False Advertising Suits vs. SiriusXM Is Filed in Manhattan

The Southern District of New York is home to the latest in a string of fraud class actions filed throughout the U.S. in which plaintiffs have alleged that SiriusXM falsely advertises its monthly music plans at lower prices than it actually charges. SiriusXM’s 21.4% “U.S. music royalty fee scheme” has been the source of all of SiriusXM’s profits for the past several years, alleged Bonnie Wilson’s class action Wednesday (docket 1:24-cv-04843) in Manhattan. Once consumers “have been lured to sign up,” SiriusXM prevents them from learning about its scheme “by never thereafter sending them monthly or ongoing billing notices or invoices,” said the Bath, New York, resident’s complaint. All the while, SiriusXM “silently and automatically renews their subscriptions month after month and year after year,” it said.
