BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) – A company offering short-term loans faces a lawsuit that claims its telemarketing breaks the law.
Kyle Nicholas Gadke, through the Law Offices of Stefan Coleman and Kaufman P.A., filed a class action lawsuit April 28 in New York federal court against Advance Funds Network. The suit claims the company violated the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act.
Gadke says he is not the National Do Not Call registry and received a call from AFN, which used an automated system to call and text “hundreds if not thousands of consumers.”
“Advance Funds Network also made or caused to be made unsolicited telephonic sales calls to residential, mobile, and/or telephonic paging device telephone numbers, including the Plaintiff’s mobile, without identifying the first or last names of the telephone solicitor, and without correctly identifying the business on whose behalf the solicitation was made,” the suit says.
The lawsuit also cites a job advertisement for the company that mentions cold-calling as part of the job. It seeks $500 per each violation for Gadke and a class he hopes to represent.
