Quick one for you.

These default judgment cases are really starting to pile up.

Here’s the latest– in Fridline v. Millennia Tax Relief, 2024 WL 1356716 (M.D. Pa. March 29, 2024) Plaintiff sued claiming he received a mix of ringless voicemails, autodialed calls, and text messages. A total of 10 communications were received.

Since Defendant didn’t show up the Court found all ten messages were violations of the TCPA and trebeld damages to $1,500.00 per violation. So $15k for 10 phone calls.

These sorts of cases certainly encourage pro per TCPA plaintiffs to file suit. Not the sort of precedent we need to see out there.
