TCPA ADVANTAGE?: AiAdvatage to Settle TCPA Class Action For $3,000,000.00

Add a comment

Another day, another wrong number TCPA class action settlement to talk about.

In Knox v. Maximus Education, LLC, dba Aidvantage, No. 2:25-cv-00121 (M.D. Ala.) AiAdvantage has elected to settle a TCPA class action arising out of prerecorded wrong number calls it attempted to make to service accounts.

The class is defined as:

All persons throughout the United States (1) to whom Maximus Education, LLC,
dba Aidvantage (“Aidvantage”) placed or caused to be placed a call, (2) directed to
a telephone number assigned to a cellular telephone service, but not assigned to a
current or former Aidvantage customer or accountholder, (3) in connection with
which Aid vantage used or caused to be used an artificial or prerecorded voice, ( 4)
from February 12, 2021 through September 26, 2025.

We talk about the importance of the Reassigned Numbers Database all the time– using the database can cut down on TCPA class action suits like this one.

AiAdvantage apparently did not use the database and, as a result, wound up making calls to wrong numbers.

There were 32,188 cellular telephone numbers in the class apparently so the settlement equates to $93.20 per person.

Claims and objection deadline is August 24, 2026 and final approval will be considered in October.

Plaintiff’s lawyer here is Aaron D. Radbil of Greenwald Davidson Radbil PLLC. They will be looking to collect about $1MM from this thing.

Will keep an eye on this one and see where it goes.

Can’t emphasize enough how important it is to protect yourself from wrong number class action lawsuits. Most companies get this WRONG.

In addition to using the RND there are other important tactics your company can use to avoid these lawsuits. Give Troutman Amin, LLP a call and we can audit your flow and make sure you’re safe from the storm.

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.
