Well I guess today is TCPA class action settlement day.

Earlier I discussed a settlement by Western Express for $2.7MM, and here’s another one at $2.95MM.

Now, as I said, Western Express got a pretty good deal at $185.00 a class member.

Tax Relief Helpers paid more money for a much smaller class– only ~5,000 in the class.

That means TRH paid $540.00 a class member– almost triple what Western Express paid!

And notably the Wolf (Paronich) was involved in both cases.

While we can’t no for sure why Wolf took so much more off of TRH than from Western Express, what we do know is the class in TRH is as follows:

All persons throughout the United States to whom Tax Relief
Helpers, Inc. and/or its agent(s) (‘Tax Relief Helpers’) called, or
caused to be called, during the Class Period, in either of the
following circumstances: (i) where Tax Relief Helpers used an artificial or prerecorded voice without prior express written consent,
or (ii) where Tax Relief Helpers made more than one call in a
twelve-month period to any number that is registered with the
National Do-Not-Call Registry or Tax Relief Helpers’ internal DoNot-Call list.

What a weird class. It includes both 227(b) and 227(c) claimants but lumps them together. Not sure I’ve seen that before.

Notice also that Western Express was just wrong numbers– this settlement includes all individuals robocalled without consent.

Very odd.

Regardless Paronich and co. are seeking a comparatively modest $600k in fees in this one. So he’s looking to collect on about $1.4MM in fees. Not bad for a single day’s blogs worth of work…

The case is Jorge Rojas v. Tax Relief Helpers, Inc., Case no. Case No. 2025CH000020.
