Any TCPA Violations Were ‘Unintentional,’ Says Credit Union Defendant

Space Coast Credit Union denies it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, said its answer Monday (docket 0:23-cv-60659) to plaintiff Renate Moore’s April 6 class action in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in Fort Lauderdale. Moore alleges Space Coast “routinely violated” the TCPA by inundating her with debt collection calls for a debit card account that wasn’t hers (see 2304070001). Space Coast admits it placed at least three calls to Moore’s cellphone but denies her TCPA allegations, said its answer. It also admits Moore informed the credit union it was calling the wrong number and she had no business with Space Coast, but again denies any TCPA wrongdoing, it said. Moore and her putative class members aren’t entitled to recover damages under their claims for relief because she lacks standing, said the credit union’s answer. She also suffered “no actual harm as a result of the allegations,” it said. Moore and the putative class members’ claims are barred, in whole or in part, because any violation by Space Coast “was unintentional and resulted from a good faith error notwithstanding the fact that Space Coast maintains procedures reasonably adapted to avoid any such error,” it said.
