Araceli King, a claims specialist from Texas, isn’t a man named Luiz.
The distinction is clear. Yet, cable bill collectors, who were under the mistaken impression that she was another person and wouldn’t stop calling her about a late payment.
Even after she got on the phone with a representative and explained to them that they were robocalling the wrong person, the company kept calling: another 150 times over a 10-month period, still leaving messages addressed to “Luiz.” This happens in Arizona frequently.
A federal judge awarded her $230,000 in damages, saying he hoped the judgment would encourage companies to be more careful about who they’re robo-calling.
Ms. King sued under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a 24-year-old law that requires telemarketers to maintain company-specific do-not-call lists and imposes restrictions on unsolicited robocalls to mobile phones.
