Pivotal Payments Unwanted Telemarketing Calls Settlement Notes
- Abante Rooter and Plumbing, Inc. et al. v. Pivotal Payments, Inc. d/b/a Capital Processing Network and CPN
- Case No. 3:16-cv-05486-JCS
- Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
In 2016, plaintiff Abante Rooter & Plumbing filed a class action lawsuit alleging Pivotal Payments violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using an automatic telephone dialing system to solicit business. Pivotal Payments is a provider of global payment processing solutions for merchants across the United States.
According to court documents, Pivotal Payments made several unwanted telemarketing calls to the plaintiffs business cell phone and allegedly did not obtain prior express consent to place these calls.
In 1991, Congress enacted the TCPA in response to a growing number of consumer complaints regarding certain telemarketing practices. The TCPA makes it unlawful “to make any call (other than a call made for emergency purposes or made with the prior express consent of the called party) using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice … to any telephone number assigned to a … cellular telephone service.”
Pivotal Payments denies it did anything wrong. Still, the company agreed to settle the case for $9 million to avoid continued litigation. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Pivotal Payments TCPA settlement website.
Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Pivotal TCPA settlement must do so by June 29, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before June 29, 2018.
