Ballantyne v. Spark Energy, Inc.
Filed: March 30, 2017 ◆§ 2:17-cv-11018-MFL-SDD
A proposed class action lawsuit filed in Michigan claims Spark Energy, Inc. subjected consumers across the nation to illegal telemarketing calls.
A proposed class action lawsuit filed in Michigan claims Spark Energy, Inc. subjected consumers across the nation to illegal telemarketing calls. The plaintiff argues that the defendant regularly attempted to contact him over a period of six months through an automated telephone dialing system and that both telephone numbers it dialed had been placed on the national “Do Not Call” Registry. He alleges that the calls continued even after he requested that Spark stop contacting him.
According to the complaint, proposed class members were harmed by Spark Energy’s telemarketing practices because “the phone line was tied up, they were charged for the calls, and their privacy was improperly invaded.” The suit argues that consumers are protected from these “costly and inconvenient” calls under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and seeks injunctive and monetary relief.
