California Debt Collector Hit With $267 Million TCPA Judgment After Jury Verdict

Editor's Note: Back in June of this year, the jury returned the verdict in this case. On Monday, the judge entered the judgment, as described below.

TCPA cases against debt collectors and first-party creditors are notoriously difficult to certify. They typically involve individual issues of consent and revocation that make certification impossible.

But when a debt collection TCPA case does get certified, look out! They can get painful, as a California-based debt collector just found out in McMillion v. Rash Curtis & Associates, 4:16-cv-03396 (N.D. Cal.). The jury returned a whopping $267 million for 534,000 calls. Ouch.
