Who is eligible?

If you received a robocall or pre-recorded call from National Grid or a subsidiary between March 9, 2011, and October 29, 2021, you may be eligible.

According to the suit, the calls were allegedly about bill payments, disconnect notices, or other "important matters" relating to customers' accounts.

Class members will be able to claim a cash refund from the suit, but the payment amount has not yet been finalized.
