PIERRE (AP) - South Dakota will receive slightly more than $50,000 from Sirius XM radio to resolve complaints about misleading advertising and billing practices.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says the state's share is part of a $3.8 million settlement that will be split among 45 states and the District of Columbia. The states alleged that Sirius XM engaged in misleading, unfair and deceptive practices that violated consumer protection laws.
In addition to the lump sum settlement, Sirius XM will make restitution to consumers who lost money due to billing and contract disputes that occurred between July 2008 and August 2014.
Eligible consumers should contact the attorney general's Consumer Protection Division.
As part of the settlement, Sirius XM has agreed to clearly detail its billing and contract terms.
