Charter Communications Robocall Class Action Still On
A federal court judge in Wisconsin has refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit accusing Charter Communications of making repeated unwanted robocalls. The lawsuit accuses the communications giant of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of making unauthorized spam calls through an autodialer. The TCPA dictates liability of $500 to $1,500 per unauthorized robocall.
The spam calls that the plaintiff accuses Charter of making apparently were debt collection calls that the company intended to make to someone by the name of “Nancy.” The plaintiff’s name is not Nancy, however. The plaintiff allegedly repeatedly asked Charter to stop calling him, but Charter continued making the debt collection calls.
According to the lawsuit, Charter called the plaintiff using a predictive dialer, which is equipment used in call centers to automatically dial phone numbers and connect representatives to customers who answer the phone. According to the court, a device may qualify as an “autodialer” even if it does not generate random or sequential numbers.
