JPMorgan Chase Robocalls Class Action Settlement

A $2.25 million settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit alleging that JPMorgan Chase violated federal law when it used “robocalling” as a part of a marketing scheme to contact consumers without their permission.

Lead plaintiffs, Tomeka Barrow and Anthony Diaz, alleged in their class action lawsuit that JPMorgan Chase violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by using a robocaller to contact hundreds of thousands of individuals to attempt to collect on mortgage and home equity line of credit accounts.

The plaintiffs say that they asked JPMorgan Chase to stop the calls, but to no avail. The class action lawsuit alleges that more than 200,000 individuals received robocalls from Chase.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was enacted to protect consumers from annoying and harassing calls from companies. The law prohibits companies from using automatic telephone dialing systems or prerecorded or artificial voices, i.e. “robocalls,” to contact individuals without permission.

Companies can be hit with steep fines under the TCPA of $500 per violation or up to $1,500 per violation if it is proven the calls were placed willfully.

JPMorgan Chase denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the TCPA class action lawsuit to avoid the cost and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.

The company will pay cash awards to Class Members and has also agreed to disburse any unused settlement funds to two nonprofits, Prosperity Now and New Media Rights.

Class Members who would like to opt out of or object to the Chase robocalls class action settlement must do so no later than Aug. 13, 2018.
