01
Court lets TCPA DNC claim against a merchant funder move forward
Troutman Amin, LLP reports that a court allowed a TCPA DNC claim to proceed against a merchant funder. The firm notes it receives frequent unsolicited merchant funding emails despite never applying for a line of credit, and says it is funded entirely by client retainers.
Why it matters: A DNC claim surviving against a funder, not just the caller placing the calls, signals that companies further from the actual dial can still face TCPA exposure. Anyone buying leads or working with lenders and funders on outbound campaigns should check how those partners source and scrub their contact lists.

Why it matters: Timing matters under TCPA rules. A single early morning text triggering class action exposure is a reminder to check send windows on any automated text campaign, regardless of the size or recognition of the brand sending it.
