Mail-order cheese monger Colony Brands, Inc. is the defendant in a proposed class action that claims it unlawfully placed calls to consumers’ cell phones using an automatic phone dialing system. The complaint, filed in Wisconsin, alleges the nuisance calls—supposedly regarding customer debts—were placed by the defendant to at least hundreds of consumers without first receiving prior express consent. From the lawsuit:

“Unfortunately, many of the people whose cellular telephones were called as a result of [the defendant’s] autodialing practices never actually consented to receive such calls, whether because [the defendant] acquired the individual’s number through skip tracing or another indirect method, is listed as a reference on an application or intake form of the individual obtained a ‘recycled’ cellular telephone number which once belonged to a current or previous customer, the number in [the defendant’s] database attributable to the alleged debtor was incorrect, or any other number of reasons.”
