American Express, Plaintiff Seek 30-Day Extension to Answer TCPA Suit

Lawyers for plaintiff Joshua Them agreed to American Express National Bank's request for a 30-day deadline extension to Dec. 7 to answer Them’s Oct. 15 Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint, said their joint motion Monday in U.S. District Court for Southern California in San Diego (docket 3:22-cv-01585). The complaint alleges American Express inundated Them with daily debt collection calls made with an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded voice, often as much as four times a day, in violation of the statute (see 2210170041).
