Gold Trading Firm Doesn't Honor Requests to Be Removed from DNC List: Suit

Plaintiff Jan Summerton asked Goldco Direct “numerous times” to stop contacting him, but the gold dealer continues to send text messages soliciting sales of its services, alleged a Monday Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action in (docket 3:23-cv-00238) in U.S. District Court for Western Wisconsin in Madison. Goldco doesn’t honor consumers’ requests to opt out of text message solicitations, said the complaint. Summerton brings the suit on behalf of a class defined as all persons in the U.S. who within four years prior to the complaint received texts from the company after requesting to be removed from its contact list. Plaintiff claims violation of the TCPA and Section 64.1200 of the 47 Code of Federal Regulations, seeking statutory damages, plus injunctive relief requiring the company to train telemarketing personnel in compliance and to maintain a do not call list.
