This settlement followed a class action against Rash Curtis & Associates alleging the company called consumers using an autodialer (robocaller) or an artificial or prerecorded voice without prior consent, in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). On May 13, 2019, a jury found in the plaintiffs' favor and determined the defendant made 534,698 calls in violation of the TCPA. The claim deadline was June 7, 2022 and has passed, so this page is now for informational and status purposes only.
The TCPA is the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a federal law that restricts telemarketing and the use of autodialers, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, and SMS texts without consent.
