Alan sought to represent a class of individuals allegedly harmed by BrandRep phone calls. BrandRep accused Alan of making public more than 20 phone numbers he associated with various business entities to invite calls. “Why does one person need nearly 30 telephone numbers?” attorneys for the company asked in September. BrandRep says 22 of Alan’s phone numbers have been published as numbers for a group of plumbing businesses. This has the effect under the TCPA of providing worldwide written consent to be called, BrandRep claims, nullifying any legal claims.
