Card issuer sued under Rosenthal and TCPA over calls allegedly made after a verbal stop request
A card issuer is facing a Rosenthal and TCPA suit over calls allegedly placed after a consumer verbally asked the company to stop. In a separate case covered in the same digest, a judge ruled the FDCPA doesn't require debt collectors to send statements, but stopping them could still be deceptive. A judge also denied a motion to dismiss from furnishers in an FCRA suit over fraudulent student loans, and JD data cited in the digest shows the share of financially unhealthy consumers dipped to 63%.
Why it matters: A verbal stop request allegedly triggering TCPA and Rosenthal exposure is a reminder that call suppression has to work off spoken requests, not just written ones. Businesses that call prospects need suppression lists that update the moment someone asks to stop being called, by any channel.
