Plaintiff Alleges SiriusXM's Prerecorded Debt Collection Calls Hounded Him

SiriusXM “routinely violates” the Telephone Consumer Protection Act when it uses an artificial or prerecorded voice to place nonemergency calls to cellphone numbers without the recipients’ prior express consent, Micah Scott’s class action Friday (docket 5:24-cv-00737) in U.S. District Court for Northern Alabama alleged. The Huntsville, Alabama, resident alleges the defendant phoned him at least five times to collect a debt on a newly renewed subscription, though he never had a business relationship with the company, nor was he a SiriusXM subscriber, the complaint said. Scott “suffered actual harm as a result of the subject artificial or prerecorded voice messages in that he suffered an invasion of privacy, an intrusion into his life, and a private nuisance,” his complaint said.
