Monitronics Robocall Class Action Settlement at $28 Million

Security alarm monitoring company Monitronics International Inc. has agreed to pay $28 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused Monitronics of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The lawsuit alleged that Monitronics made auto-dialed marketing calls to consumers to sell home security devices. Monitronics was accused of making the marketing calls to numbers listed on the Do Not Call Registry.

Millions of Consumers Allegedly Received the Improper Calls

Attorneys for the plaintiff have estimated that approximately 7.8 million individuals received the robocalls calls that are the subject of the case. Each class member is expected to receive between $12 and 25. Those expected to receive payments received marketing calls from May 2007 through the date the settlement is approved.

Robocall Calls Laws Have Statutory Damages

Congress enacted the TCPA to protect consumers from unwanted and harassing marketing calls and spam texts. The statute provides for damages of between $500 and $1500 per unwanted call or text made to consumers who had not provided their prior consent to receive such communications.
