ALLSTATE BANS CERTAIN LEAD SUPPLIERS: “[U]se of any of the following vendors creates significant risk of noncompliance.”

2 Comments

Folks often ask me for a list of “bad” lead vendors. I have scruples about preparing such a list myself.

But when someone else does it I am very interested.

So Allstate apparently has a list of lead vendors it does not allow its agents to buy from.

Thought it was an interesting read. I have NOT vetted this list and express NO opinion on its accuracy. Just passing it along because a major insurer has deemed these companies unfit to by leads from and that is definitely newsworthy.

Obviously no REACH members on this list.

The more I think about this the more interesting I find it that Allstate is allowing lead purchase to continue but picking off individual companies. I also wonder whether appearance on this list comes solely from litigation troubles or if there are other factors at play.

If anyone from Allstate corporate wants to come on the podcast to discuss would be happy to have you.

And if you’re a lead generator that wants to make a GOOD name for itself consider joining R.E.A.C.H. and advertising in the Troutman Amin, LLP 2025 TCPA  Annual Review!

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.

  1. Noteworthy (and telling) is the headline: “Restricted Third-Party Vendors Announcement – Update October 11, 2024”

    Would love to see all the prior lists, since this is just an ‘update’…

    Could this bolster the vicarious liability claim aspect against Allstate (although they already regularly get nailed for the multitude of illegal calls from the leadgens their agents use) since they specifically state:

    “These restrictions are necessary given the significant legal exposure that can be created for Allstate when the agency uses a service that may not be fully compliant with the law…”

    It’s a banner day for us victimized consumers!!

    Thanks for posting this Eric!!

  2. Too late, Allstate. They’ve already made my banned list of insurance providers, presumably via one of the listed suppliers.
