TomoCredit Text-Messages Numbers on National DNC Registry, Alleges Class Action

TomoCredit engages in unsolicited text messaging to promote its credit relief services to consumers who have listed their phone numbers on the national do not call registry, alleged plaintiff Heriberto Valiente’s Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action Friday (docket 1:24-cv-21483) in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in Miami. Valiente seeks injunctive relief to halt TomoCredit’s unlawful conduct, “which has resulted in intrusion into the peace and quiet in a realm that is private and personal” to her and her class members, said the complaint. Valiente began receiving TomoCredit’s text messages Nov. 22, though she never had a business relationship with the company, nor did she ever sign any type of authorization permitting or allowing the company to send her text message solicitations, it said. She also listed her phone number on the national DNC registry at least three years before receiving the text messages, it said. Court records show that Valiente’s lawsuit is the third TCPA complaint filed against TomoCredit since Dec. 5.
