Bluestem Brands will pay $4.4 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accuses the company and its subsidiaries of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
Lead plaintiff Timothy Haight accused Bluestem Brands d/b/a Fingerhut, Gettington, and PayCheck Direct of using an automatic telephone dialing system to call cell phones in violation of the TCPA.
The Bluestem TCPA class action lawsuit further alleges that the robocalls were in connection with trying to attempt to collect debts owed on Fingerhut, Gettington, or PayCheck Direct credit accounts.
