01
Molina Healthcare gets final approval on $1.93 million TCPA settlement over wrong-number calls
In Kruzel v. Molina Healthcare, 2026 WL 2409400 (D. Or. Aug. 17, 2026), the court granted final approval of a $1.93 million class action settlement resolving TCPA claims that Molina called numbers reassigned away from the intended recipients.
Why it matters: Wrong-number calls are the recurring theme in these settlements. If a phone number on your list has been reassigned since a customer gave consent, calling it can trigger TCPA liability even though you believe you have permission to call.

Eastern District of Pennsylvania grants summary judgment in TCPA case over a business telephone number
In Jourey Newell v. JR Capital, LLC, plaintiff Jourey Newell alleged TCPA violations against JR Capital LLC for failing to meet stated caller ID requirements. The Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted summary judgment, addressing the difference between business and residential telephone numbers for TCPA purposes.
Why it matters: Whether a line counts as a business number or a residential one changes which TCPA protections apply. Knowing the line type behind a number in your list matters before you call or text it.

Court orders Heidrapour to preserve devices and communications tied to 'all TCPA actions'
In Chet Wilson v. Freeway, a court entered an order requiring Heidrapour to hold onto devices and records tied to his TCPA cases. The order also hints at a deeper look at his TCPA suit referral practices.
Why it matters: This signals more scrutiny of how TCPA suits get generated and referred, not just how businesses place calls. It is worth watching how the underlying facts affect future claims and settlements.
