As we recently posted, T. Dean Malone secured a $147,000.00 jury verdict against First National Collection Bureau, Inc. for violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). The TCPA generally prohibits calls to a cell telephone, using an artificial or prerecorded voice and/or an automatic telephone dialing system, without obtaining the prior express consent of the person called. There are exceptions in the TCPA, but they are narrow in scope. The court has not signed a judgment as of the day of this post, and neither our firm nor our client has received any money as a result of the verdict. It appears that the Defendant will appeal any judgment. Here are copies of the jury’s verdicts (the trial had two phases) with the jurors’ names redacted:

This is a collection agency...united something or other. I called back...they had wrong number...very rude but did state they would remove my number from their system. When I questioned about no response when I answered the phone they stated that it was the automated system and didn't recognize that someone had picked up....I just think the automated system wants to find the time that people actually pick up their phones

Calls repeatedly, no message
