4th TCPA Action vs. Wells Fargo Since Nov. 1 is Filed by Same Lawyer

When plaintiff Shelsy Ruiz experienced financial hardship in January 2022, Wells Fargo Bank began bombarding the San Diego County resident with debt-collection calls to her cellphone using a recorded voice or automatic telephone dialing system, alleged her Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint Wednesday (docket 3:23-cv-00387) in U.S. District Court for Southern California in San Diego. Court records show it’s the fourth known TCPA claim filed against Wells Fargo since Nov. 1 by the same lawyer, Ahren Tiller of the BLC Law Center in San Diego. Through the cease and desist letter Tiller sent to Wells Fargo at its corporate headquarters on Ruiz’s behalf May 25, the plaintiff “revoked any alleged consent” for the banks or its representatives to call her on her cellphone via the use of an ATDS or recorded voice, or by text message, it said. Wells Fargo didn’t comment.
