Credit reporting firm Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. agreed to pay $10.5 million in September to settle a robocall class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The lawsuit complained that Dun & Bradstreet had violated the TCPA by making automated marketing calls. Robocalls that are made without first receiving the recipient\u2019s consent can subject the caller to up to $1500 in liability per call.<\/p>\n
The plaintiff in the lawsuit alleged that he had received multiple robocalls to his cellphone even though he never gave Dun & Bradstreet permission to call him and despite the fact that he had asked to be put on Dun and Bradstreet’s do-not-call list.<\/p>\n
The TCPA was enacted to curb the massive growth of annoying and intrusive robocalls. The damages that are provided for under the statute were hoped to act as a deterrent from companies making robocalls. Unfortunately, companies continue to make millions of unwanted robocalls.<\/p>\n
If you received a spam text or an unwanted and unapproved robocall\u00a0call, you may have a valid TCPA claim and be entitled to recover damages.<\/p>\n
