Do I Need Proof to File a Claim?

No proof is required to file a claim, but it involves a two-step process:

• First: you need to fill out a form that you qualify for a payout from the DSW TCPA settlement. This means that you received a marketing message from Designer Brands and/or DSW after requesting to stop receiving such messages between September 1, 2018 and September 1, 2024.

• Second: you will receive a “Class member ID” which you can then use to complete and file the claim form. You will be required to swear under penalty of perjury that you qualify for the class action, which means you had opted out of receiving marketing messages from DSW or Designer Brands but still received them at a specific phone number.
