PNC Bank, N.A.source ↗ filed by Miller, Thibodeaux, Dysart, Veith & Paschal, LLC · Judge Chad W. Bryan · No. 2:26-cv-00655 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $28M–$76M ▾ Recent circuit rulings split sharply on TCPA robocall/text theories: Howard, Perrong, and Hulce narrowed liability via technical statutory definitions, while League of Women Voters v. Kramer let robocall claims survive a motion to dismiss on strong factual allegations. PNC's case will likely hinge on whether the calls/texts used an 'artificial or prerecorded voice' as defined post-Howard. Comparable settlements $28M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, L.L.C. $61M · ccAdvertising $32.42M Key precedent: Howard v. RNC (9th Cir.) — narrows TCPA prerecorded-voice liability to calls beginning with such content, a key defense if PNC's texts/calls don't fit that mold. Main risk: Dismissal on the technical definition of 'prerecorded voice' or 'telephone solicitation,' as in Howard and Hulce, which could gut the claim before class certification. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $450K–$22.50M Small, thematically mixed comparable set; no PNC-specific prior TCPA history; class size and per-member figures are rough proxies pending discovery on call volume and consent records. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts	Filing	Robocalls & Texts (TCPA)	M.D. Ala.	2026-08-17	$28M–$76M comparable settlements
