Class Action Alleges Humana Calls Numbers Listed on National DNC Registry

Humana and its agents negligently, knowingly and willfully initiated telemarketing calls to residential phone lines using an artificial or prerecorded voice without the prior express consent of the called parties, and did so to numbers listed on the national do not call registry, alleged a class action Friday (docket 3:24-cv-00262) in U.S. District Court for Western Kentucky in Louisville. Carlton Harrison alleges Humana violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act when it inundated his cellphone with at least seven telemarketing calls to promote its insurance products and services, though Harrison’s cellphone number has been listed on the DNC registry since September 2005, said his complaint. At no point has the Montgomery, Alabama, resident sought out or solicited information about Humana’s insurance products before receiving the telemarketing calls at issue, it said.
