Allstate Telemarketing Calls Class Action Settlement

A $10.5 million class action settlement has been reached, ending claims that Allstate placed unwanted telemarketing calls in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

A plumbing company brought the class action lawsuit against Oh Insurance Agency and Allstate after allegedly receiving “nuisance” telemarketing calls through a third party, SalesDialers.

According to the Allstate class action, the companies contacted unwitting consumers in violation of a federal law — the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

The Act, also known as the TCPA, prohibits a variety of telemarketing practices, including calling consumers with a marketing message without their prior, express consent. Additionally, the TCPA restricts the use of automatic dialing systems and prerecorded messages, often called “robocalling.”

The Allstate telemarketing calls class action lawsuit alleged that Oh Insurance Agency made unwanted calls to thousands of consumers. Further, the company used an automatic dialing system and left prerecorded messages.

The marketing messages promoted Allstate’s insurance services, said the plaintiffs, implicating the nationwide insurance company in the class action.

Oh Insurance and Allstate deny any wrongdoing, but have agreed to pay $10.5 million to exit the class action lawsuit.
