• Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Ohio federal court. 

Spectrum violates the law by contacting consumers with unsolicited marketing robocalls without receiving consent, a new class action lawsuit alleges. 

Plaintiff David K. Hicks claims Spectrum uses third-party vendors to place unsolicited and automated sales calls to consumers like himself who have never entered into a contract with the telecommunications company or consent to be contacted on its behalf.

Hicks argues Spectrum’s alleged unsolicited sales calls are violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and have been an invasion of privacy, a nuisance and a waste of his time and phone battery, among other things. 

“Frustrated and concerned with the escalation of Defendant’s invasive telemarketing practices, Plaintiff retained counsel to file this action to compel Defendant to cease its unlawful practices,” the Spectrum class action states. 

Hicks wants to represent a nationwide class of consumers who are not customers of Spectrum yet have received an unsolicited and automated sales call on its behalf without consent within the last four years. 

Spectrum accused of failing to ignore request to stop making automated sales calls 

Third party telemarketers making robocalls on behalf of Spectrum began contacting Hicks in or around March of last year, according to the Spectrum class action, which argues he never had entered a contract with the company or solicited its services. 

Hicks claims he ultimately requested the third-party telemarketers to stop contacting him. However, he alleges, the company continued to “bombard” him with sales calls even after he changed phone numbers. 

Hicks is demanding a jury trial and requesting injunctive relief along with monetary and treble damages for himself and all class members. 

A separate class action lawsuit was filed against Spectrum last year by a consumer arguing the company broke the law by allegedly secretly recording inbound and outbound phone calls made to and by its representatives.
