Mortgage Investors Corp. TCPA Class Action Settlement

Mortgage Investors Corporation has agreed to pay nearly $7.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by making telephone calls to consumers who did not consent to be called. If automated telephone calls were directed to your cell phone number or you received any calls to a telephone number that was listed on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, you may be eligible for payment from the TCPA class action settlement.

The class action lawsuit accused Mortgage Investors Corp. of violating the TCPA by using an automatic telephone dialing system to make calls to consumers’ cell phones and by calling numbers even when they were listed on the National Do-Not-Call Registry. The plaintiffs claim that Mortgage Investors Corp. did not have permission from consumers to make these calls.

The TCPA is a federal law that allows consumers to recover statutory damages for calls that violate its provisions. Under the TCPA, consumers may recover $500 per call that is in violation of the TCPA, and up to $1,500 per call if the consumer can prove the calls were placed willfully.

Mortgage Investors Corp. denies that it did anything wrong, but agreed to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.

UPDATE: On Feb. 19, 2016, according to reader comments and posts on our Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Mortgage Investors Corporation TCPA settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $149.96.
