Commercial Loan Firm’s Telemarketing Violates TCPA, Alleges Class Action

The New York Tribeca Group (NYTG), a commercial loan company, runs “an aggressive cold-calling telemarketing campaign” that violates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, alleged plaintiff Porsche Stegall’s class action Friday (docket 1:23-cv-02862) in U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois in Chicago. NYTG repeatedly sends text messages and places phone calls to numbers listed on the national do not call registry “and over the messaged party’s objections,” said the Aurora, Illinois, resident's complaint. Stegall “has never done any business with NYTG,” nor did she ever give the company her phone number or consent to contact her, it said. Stegall was “damaged” by NYTG’s “unconsented” text messages and calls, it said. In addition to using up her data plan, phone storage and battery life, Stegall’s privacy was “wrongfully invaded,” and she has become “understandably aggravated with having to deal with the frustration of repeated, unwanted text messages and calls,” it said.
