Santa Clara, CA: An online computer training vendor, Pluralsight LLC, is facing an unfair business practices class action lawsuit over allegations it automatically renews subscriptions to its services, without client authorization.
According to the suit, filed by Kyle Johnson, individually and behalf of all others similarly situated, the plaintiff signed up for a 10-day trial subscription to Pluralsight's training services, but did not receive notice that his credit card would be automatically charged for a renewal each month once the trial period expired. The suit alleges Pluralsight fails to inform customers about the automatic renewal, details of the cancellation policy or when the renewal can be canceled.
Specifically, the complaint asserts violations of California's automatic renewal and unfair competition laws.
Johnson and other class members are represented by attorneys Scott J. Ferrell, Richard H. Hikida, David W. Reid and Victoria C. Knowles of Newport Trial Group APC in Newport Beach, California. The case is US District Court for the Eastern District of California Case number 2:16-cv-01148.
