Kramer survived a motion to dismiss on similar robocall allegations. Debt-relief telemarketing calls are a common, often actionable TCPA fact pattern absent a strong consent defense. Comparable settlements $29.50M–$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, LLC $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M Key precedent: League of Women Voters v. Kramer (D.N.H.) - TCPA robocall claim survived MTD, showing viable path when injury and lack of consent are well-pled. Main risk: Dismissal if calls don't meet 'prerecorded/artificial voice' threshold or if consent was obtained via website/application forms, as in Howard v. RNC. This defendant: Prior filing (Lam v. Better Debt Solutions) suggests recurring TCPA exposure for this defendant's calling practices. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $75K–$5.62M Small, heterogeneous comparable set mixing TCPA, VPPA, and other theories; actual consent evidence and calling volume records not available, limiting precision. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | W.D.
