An Alabama consumer is behind a proposed class action that alleges defendant Smith, Rouchon & Associates, Inc. violated federal debt collection laws and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using an automatic dialing system to call consumers with debts without first receiving express permission to do so.

The plaintiff claims she, on at least four different occasions between April and May 2017, received calls from the defendant over a debt allegedly owed to an unknown third party named “Marty.” The case claims these calls were placed by the defendant through an automatic telephone dialing system prohibited for use under the TCPA for non-emergency purposes. Moreover, the lawsuit argues the defendant violated the FDCPA by repeatedly calling the plaintiff even though she was not the individual from whom the company was looking to collect the debt.
