Robocalls – TCPA Actions: Loanpal, Cardenas Marketing Network

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is making consumers aware of the following Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) class action lawsuit filings:

Loanpal, LLC

Class action lawsuit filed on February 18, 2020 in United States District Court for the Central District of California, against Loanpal, LLC to, among other things, “stop [Loanpal’s alleged] practice of placing calls using an ‘automatic telephone dialing system’ . . . to the telephones of consumers nationwide without their prior express consent” and “stop [Loanpal] from calling consumers who are registered on the National Do Not Call Registry.”

According to the class action complaint, Loanpal, “a lending company that offers loans for home purchase, mortgage refinancing, home improvement, and solar installation,” in an effort “to promote its business and generate leads for its loan products . . . conducted (and continues to conduct) a wide scale telemarketing campaign that repeatedly makes unsolicited autodialed and/or pre-recorded calls to consumers’ telephones, as well as making such calls to consumers who are registered on the National Do Not Call list, all without any prior express consent to make these calls.”

The class action complaint alleges that the Plaintiff, whose cellular telephone number is registered on the National Do Not Call list, “received multiple phone calls from (818) 200-0320.” The Plaintiff, allegedly, has never consented to receiving calls from Loanpal and “has never provided any form of prior express written or oral consent to [Loanpal] to place autodialed calls to him and has no business relationship with [Loanpal].”
