Concord, NH: A potential class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of thousands of plaintiffs, against a Newington company that broke federal law by faxing more than 10,000 unsolicited advertisements to thousands of Americans.
The suit alleges that Harbor Capital Corp (HCC), broke the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by faxing ads promoting its commercial financial services. Passed by Congress in 1991, the TCPA assumes that unsolicited and faxed advertisements shifts advertising costs to recipients and monopolizes their fax machines.
Further, the suit alleges that because the unsolicited faxes did not inlcude an opt-out notice on the first page of the fax, with an accompanying phone number for opting-out, HCC violated federal law. The faxes were sent over a four year period, the suit alleges
The suit claims the ads were faxed to "at a minimum, thousands" of people who can be identified through HCC's fax and marketing records.
