The 16-page lawsuit says that the tax debt service has run afoul of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)—which aims to shield consumers from unwanted telemarketing voice calls and texts—by transmitting prerecorded calls and messages to the plaintiff, a Pennsylvania resident, and countless others.
As the suit tells it, the plaintiff began receiving voice calls and texts from Millennia in November 2021. Per the complaint, the messages offered a “fresh start” on tax debt and promoted other services “he did not want or need.”
According to the case, some of the voice calls included prerecorded messages that went straight to the plaintiff’s voicemail after just a partial ring. Such “ringless” voicemails are also subject to the TCPA’s regulations, the filing states.
The plaintiff had never done business with Millennia, or so much as expressed interest in doing so, and “[at] no point” consented to be contacted by the company, as required under the TCPA, the complaint shares.
The filing explains that the plaintiff had added his phone number to the National Do Not Call Registry in September 2005 in an attempt to find “solitude from invasive and irritating solicitation calls.”
The lawsuit looks to represent anyone in the United States who Millennia Tax Relief called using prerecorded or artificial voice and/or ringless voicemail technology since April 20, 2019.
The suit also looks to cover anyone in the United States with a cell phone who, since April 20, 2019, received more than one call or text from Millennia Tax Relief on that phone during a 12-month period and whose phone number was listed on the Do Not Call Registry for more than 31 days.
