Plaintiff Denies Defendant’s Counterclaim He’s a TCPA Common Law Fraudster
Nelson Estrada denies the allegations in defendant Aragon Advertising’s Telephone Consumer Protection Act counterclaim that he’s a common law fraudster, said Estrada’s answer Wednesday (docket 4:23-cv-03407) in U.S. District Court for Southern Texas in Houston. The plaintiff’s Sept. 12 class action alleged that Aragon inundated his cellphone with 37 “unauthorized and illegal” solicitation calls, to a number listed on the national do not call registry since June 2008 (see 2312070040). Aragon alleged in its Dec. 6 counterclaim that Estrada is a budding professional TCPA litigant who shops lawsuits around different law firms, and that he faked interest in Aragon’s products and services just to drive up the call count to extract a higher settlement payout for his “manufactured TCPA claim.” Estrada’s answer asks the court to enter judgment in his favor and to dismiss Aragon’s counterclaim with prejudice.
