Michigan to get $100,000 in Sirius XM settlement

LANSING (AP) - Michigan will receive nearly $110,000 from Sirius XM Radio Inc. in a national settlement to resolve complaints about misleading advertising and billing practices. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said last Thursday the money will go into the state's general fund. Sirius XM agreed to pay a total of $3.8 million to 45 states and the District of Columbia. 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 office to file a complaint. As part of the settlement, Sirius XM agreed to clearly detail its billing and contract terms.
