The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida recently held that Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by calling an individual’s cell phone using an automatic dialer system without his consent. In Jones v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, Case No.: 0:16-cv-62967 (S.D. Fla. Jan. 29, 2018), the Court granted in part plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment holding Ocwen violated the TCPA by calling the plaintiff using an automatic dialing system after the plaintiff had told Ocwen to stop calling him on his cell phone. The Court went on to state there were many issues left to be resolved at trial, including scope of plaintiff’s consent, amount of calls using an automatic dialing system, and whether any of those calls were willful violations. This decision is important because it shows that Ocwen’s dialing system, which consists of two programs working together, falls under the definition of an automatic dialing system as defined by the TCPA.
