Case Name
Michael Dobkin v. NRG Residential Solar Solutions LLC,Case No. 3:15-cv-05089
District Court for the District of New Jersey
Case Summary
The lawsuit alleges that NRG Residential placed or had third parties place prerecorded and/or autodialed calls to the telephones of consumers without their consent promoting the sale and leasing of residential solar panel systems. The suit further alleges that these calls were made to individuals whose telephone numbers were registered on the National Do-Not-Call Registry. The lawsuit alleges that, as a result of these calls, NRG Residential violated a federal law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
NRG Residential denies these allegations and contends that it acted with consumers’ consent, that the calls were not prerecorded and/or autodialed or made to numbers registered on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, that it is not responsible for calls made by third parties, or that the calls otherwise did not violate the Act. No court has decided who is right. The parties are entering into the Settlement to avoid further time-consuming and expensive litigation.
