Papa Murphy’s TCPA Settlement Notes

  • Lennartson et al. v. Papa Murphy’s Holdings Inc. et al.
  • Case No. 3:15-cv-05307-RBL
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Tacoma

In May 2015, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Papa Murphy’s alleging the take-and-bake pizza chain sent text message advertisements to consumers without their prior express consent – a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

The TCPA guards against annoying telemarketing calls and unwanted text messages, barring companies from sending text message advertisements without a consumer first opting into the service. Specifically, plaintiff John Lennartson sued Papa Murphy’s for using an autodialer to send him unwanted text messages to his cell phone. Lennartson says he never consented to receive these promotional texts from Papa Murphy’s. The unwanted text messages offered deals for pizza.

Papa Murphy’s denies the allegations and that it violated any law. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Papa Murphy’s TCPA settlement website.

Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Papa Murphy’s TCPA settlement must do so by August 14, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before August 14, 2018.

A&B Insurance and Financial TCPA Settlement Notes

  • Youngman and Allen v. A&B Insurance and Financial Inc.
  • Case No. 6:16-cv-01478-CEM-GJK
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florid

Plaintiffs Jim Youngman and Robert Allen filed this class action lawsuit alleging A&B Insurance and Financial violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by placing multiple telemarketing calls to numbers registered on the National Do Not Call Registry and made prerecorded calls via an automatic telephone dialing system to cell phones.

A person whose number is on the National Do Not Call Registry, and who has received more than one telephone call within any twelve-month period by or on behalf of the same entity in violation of the TCPA, can sue the violator and seek statutory damages. Additionally, the TCPA prohibits persons from making calls using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice to any telephone number assigned to a cellular telephone service, unless the telemarketer has the recipient’s prior express consent.

In Youngman’s case, he states he placed his telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry in June 2003. But around January 2016, he began receiving unwanted telemarketing calls from A&B Financial and Insurance offering health insurance services.

“The caller informed Mr. Youngman at the beginning of each call that he was calling from “Florida Blue”, which is a d/b/a of A&B Insurance and they and informed him that they were calling to offer their goods and services,” the complaint states.

A&B Insurance denies that it did anything wrong. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the A&B Insurance and Financial TCPA settlement website.

Global Tel*Link TCPA Settlement Notes

  • David Martin v. Global Tel*Link Corporation
  • Case No. 2:15-cv-02495
  • Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California

In December 2014, plaintiff David Martin initiated this class action lawsuit alleging Global Tel*Link violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by using an automatic dialing systems and prerecorded voice to place calls to cell phone numbers without the prior express consent of the recipient.

Global Tel*Link provides collect call services to inmates at jails and prisons throughout the United States. The service requires that the called party establish a billing relationship with Global Tel*Link in order to pay for and receive calls from an inmate. When an inmate attempts to place a collect call to a number for which there is no pre-established billing relationship with Global Tel*Link, the call attempt will trigger a separate prerecorded “Notification Call” that tells the called party that they need to set up an account in order to pay for and receive the call.

Martin contends that the automated nature of these Global Tel*Link notification calls to cell phone numbers is in direct violation of the TCPA.

Global Tel*Link denies all allegations and believes the claims are without merit but agreed to settle for $8.8 million to avoid further litigation. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Global Tel*Link TCPA settlement website.

Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Global Tel*Link Notification Call TCPA settlement must do so by June 15, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before June 15, 2018.
