A Los Angeles man filed a class action lawsuit in federal court in California on March 30 alleging that three timeshare companies, World Wide Vacations Inc., RCI LLC, and Interval International Inc., violated provisions of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
We all remember Lynn v. Monarch Recovery Services, in which the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decided calls made to a residential VoIP number where the owner was charged for the call, were illegal, just as if they had been made to a wireless phone without written consent.
Earlier this month the 9th Circuit upheld the district court’s grant of summary judgment in the case of Shaya Baird v. Sabre, Inc., et al. The case concerned an unsolicited text message that was sent to the plaintiff’s cell phone.
Most businesses are aware that California is a hotbed of TCPA litigation, but this is in part due to California having the largest population of any state in the country. When you compare the number of known litigants in each state (and D.C.) with the state/district’s population, the results may surprise you.
Our latest TCPA solution mitigates the risks of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) with the most accurate and up-to-date consumer contact information available to further mitigate risk along with our Wireless ID℠ solution.
In a breath of fresh air, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida has granted the defendant’s motion for partial summary judgment in the case of Estrella v. LTD Financial Services, LP.
