Kohl’s Faces Second TCPA Debt-Collection Complaint in 2 Months

Kohl’s, for the second time in as many months, was accused of Telephone Consumer Protection Act abuses through its debt collection activities when Carson City, Nevada, consumer Mary Graehl filed a complaint Monday (docket 2:22-cv-01341) in U.S. District Court for Wisconsin in Milwaukee alleging the retailer inundated her with “harassing” phone calls. Graehl’s complaint alleges she has suffered “concrete harm” as a result of Kohl’s actions, including “numerous violations of her state and federally protected interests to be free from harassing and abusive debt collection conduct,” it said. A Hennepin County, Minnesota, consumer accused Kohl’s last month of making repeated debt collection calls to his cellphone using a robodialer (see 2210130072).
