Nationwide Insurance Telemarketing Class Action
Lawyers at Meyer Wilson, along with our co-counsel, have
filed a class action in Atlanta (PDF) on behalf of several consumers who received telemarketing robocalls made
by - or on behalf of - Nationwide Insurance. The consumers allege that
Nationwide called them even though Nationwide did not have the consumers’
prior express consent to be called, and in some cases, even when the consumers’
phone numbers were on the National Do Not Call Registry. Therefore, the
calls are alleged to violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA),
a federal law that was enacted to keep all Americans from receiving unwanted calls.
If you received calls or text messages from Nationwide, or from a third
party trying to sell you Nationwide insurance,
please contact us. We’d like to speak with you at no charge to you for an initial
consultation to see if we can help.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
The TCPA placed restrictions on prerecorded messages, both for telemarketing
and debt collecting, when it became law in 1991. The TCPA also placed
regulations on automated text messaging. In most cases, the originator
of the messages is required to have a person’s prior express written
consent in order to make prerecorded or automated calls or text messages
for the purpose of telemarketing. The TCPA provides for statutory damages
between $500 and $1,500 for each violation.
