Case Summary
This settlement resolves a lawsuit where HSBS is accused of violating the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).The lawsuit against HSBC alleges that HSBC used an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded or artificial voice when placing cell phone calls between May 31, 2008 and May 1, 2012. These types of telephone calls are illegal under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which protects consumers from unwanted or harassing cell phone calls from companies.
