From Ripoffreport.com

This company uses an auto-dialer to call on people to get them to re-finance. Too bad I didn't figure this out when it started, but after the 12th hangup, I investigated the number using a criss cross directory, and sent a letter to them stating the violations I could prove amounted to $3,500.00 in statutory damages under the TCPA. In the meantime, they kept calling until I picked up the phone and announced who they were, which flustered the caller. I demanded to speak with a Manager, and then was speaking with "joe" who claimed to be a manager. When I informed "Joe" that his company's violations amounted to $3,500.00 he "accused me of trying to extor money from the company", which, to an attorney, is a serious matter.

I am suing them, and contemplating a class action. If anyone out there has experienced the same problem with this company or any other company violating the prohibition on auto dialers (they are disallowed for marketing purposes, as are auto fax dialers), I would be happy to give counsel

I'm aware of Dana Capital settlements of these autodialer violations, but apparently the profits from the illegal activities exceed the cost of the settlements.
