Spectrum Inundating Non-Account Holder With ‘Dozens’ of Calls: Suit

Spectrum Cable “routinely violates” the Telephone Consumer Protection Act “by using an artificial or prerecorded voice in connection with nonemergency calls it places” to phone numbers assigned to a cellular service, and does so “without prior express consent,” alleged a class action Tuesday (docket 5:22-cv-01304) in U.S. District Court for Western Texas. Spectrum began placing calls to San Antonio resident Irene Talamantez in January, “intending to discuss an account other than one” in her name, said the complaint. Spectrum placed “dozens of calls” to Talamantez, even though she “does not have, nor did she have,” a Spectrum account, it said. The calls continued even after Talamantez told Spectrum to stop, it said. The company didn’t respond to requests for comment.
