There is currently no claim form to join for the HelloFresh Do Not Call Registry text lawsuit, because none of the active cases has been certified as a class action. Consumers who received unwanted marketing texts from HelloFresh or its sister brand EveryPlate while registered on the National Do Not Call Registry can still act now by contacting the attorneys handling the pending suits or retaining their own TCPA attorney.
HelloFresh's U.S. operating entity, Grocery Delivery E-Services USA Inc., is facing at least two separate 2026 federal lawsuits alleging it sent marketing texts to numbers on the Registry without consent, according to TCPAWorld's reporting. Neither case has reached the settlement stage, so the practical question for most readers is what, if anything, can be done right now.

What the pending lawsuits actually allege
Two cases are driving the current attention. In Ramirez v. Grocery Delivery E-Services USA (W.D. Tex., No. 5:26-cv-06303, filed September 30, 2026), the plaintiff alleges EveryPlate/HelloFresh sent repeated marketing texts to a number on the Registry and did so outside the hours the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) permits for marketing calls and texts, according to OpenClassActions. A related case, Rivera v.
Every Plate, Inc. and Hello Fresh, is further along procedurally. The pro se plaintiff in that Nebraska federal case alleged 45 promotional texts between July 10 and October 1, 2025, sent after they had opted out. On June 30, 2026, the court ruled the complaint stated a plausible TCPA claim and let the case proceed, according to TCPAWorld. Both cases remain individual lawsuits rather than certified class actions. HelloFresh has not been found liable in either matter, and the allegations are unproven as of these reports.
Why there is no claim form right now
A claim form exists only after a court certifies a class or approves a settlement that creates a fund for class members. As of the reporting on Ramirez and Rivera, neither has reached that stage, so there is no court-approved class and no settlement fund to apply to, per TCPAWorld and OpenClassActions.
This is a common point of confusion with pending litigation. A lawsuit being filed, or even surviving a motion to dismiss as Rivera did, is not the same as a class being certified. Readers searching for a form to fill out for either case will not find one, because none has been created.
What happened to the earlier HelloFresh settlement
A previous HelloFresh Do Not Call Registry case did reach a nationwide settlement, and it's worth understanding why that one is no longer available either. In Murray v. Grocery Delivery E-Services USA (D. Mass., No.
1:19-cv-12608), a federal court gave final approval to a $14 million settlement on October 15, 2021, covering Registry calls, autodialed calls, and calls to HelloFresh's internal do-not-call list, according to Goodwin Law. That approval did not hold. The First Circuit vacated the settlement on December 16, 2022, ruling that the roughly 4.8 million class members fell into three subgroups with conflicting interests that required separate counsel, and sent the case back to the lower court, per the appellate ruling summarized by FindLaw. Because the settlement was vacated and no replacement settlement has since been reported, consumers cannot file a claim under the 2021 approval today. Any claim submitted under that old approval is no longer a valid basis for payment, according to Faegre Drinker's analysis of the First Circuit's decision.
What you can do today if you received these texts
For a pending case with no certified class, the only path available to an affected consumer is direct contact rather than a claim form. Two options apply: Keep any evidence of the texts, including screenshots with timestamps, and confirm your number's Registry status and registration date, since both will matter to any attorney evaluating a claim.
- Contact the attorneys named on the Ramirez or Rivera complaint directly and describe the texts you received, including dates, content, and whether you were on the Registry at the time.
- Retain your own TCPA attorney to pursue an individual claim, or to ask about joining as an additional plaintiff or intervenor in an existing suit.
What happens if one of these cases is certified or settles later
If a court later certifies a class in Ramirez, Rivera, or a similar case, or approves a new settlement, eligible consumers would typically be identified automatically through records already in the case rather than needing to apply in advance. Formal notice would come from a claims administrator once certification or settlement occurs.
Eligibility in that scenario would generally hinge on having received the alleged texts while registered on the Do Not Call Registry during the period named in the case. Readers who already contacted the attorneys in Section 4 would be in a better position to receive that notice directly rather than relying on public announcements. A separate complaint referred to in some reporting, Ayala, has inconsistent filing details across sources and should be independently confirmed before anyone relies on its docket information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a HelloFresh class action settlement I can file a claim for right now?
No. The only settlement that reached final approval, in the Murray case, was vacated by the First Circuit in December 2022, and the pending Ramirez and Rivera cases have not been certified as class actions.
Does the vacated Murray settlement mean I can't get compensation at all?
It means the 2021 approval no longer supports a payment. A new settlement in Murray or a certified class in one of the pending cases would be needed before a claim form exists again.
What should I save if I think I have a valid claim?
Screenshots of the texts with visible timestamps, the dates you received them, and proof of when your number was added to the National Do Not Call Registry.
