TCPA Suit Targets Southern Power for Its Debt-Collection Calls

Southern Power “intentionally, knowingly and/or willfully harassed and abused” plaintiff Lee Cunningham on numerous occasions by calling his cellphone within the past four years “with such frequency as can reasonably be expected to harass and in effort to collect upon an alleged debt,” said his Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint Wednesday (docket 2:22-cv-00621) in U.S. District Court for Middle Alabama in Montgomery. All the calls were placed using an artificial or prerecorded voice, and were initiated through an automatic telephone dialing system, it said. Due to the volume of intrusions, Cunningham “was unable to maintain a fully contemporaneous call log of each and every call he received,” it said. Southern Power didn’t comment Thursday.
