Settlement of the Charvat Class Action Lawsuit

In the Charvat v. Resort Marketing Group, Inc., et al. class-action lawsuit, a consumer alleged that he received telemarketing calls from the cruise line without first giving his consent. The plaintiff, Philip Charvat, sued Carnival, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean, alleging that they violated the TCPA and breached his privacy. The settlement was reached in February, and the case is still pending.

The complaint was filed on July 23, 2012, in the U.S. District Court of Illinois.

Charvat, a consumer from Chicago, alleged that the cruise line he was trying to register with made pre-recorded calls on his behalf. This, he claims, violates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The defendants deny the allegations in the lawsuit. He is seeking $3.1 million from the settlement.

The settlement was reached after Charvat filed a class-action suit against the cruise line and a Batavia, Illinois, telemarketing firm called Resort Marketing Group. The group is a third-party travel agency that uses automated phone calls to contact consumers for free vacations. However, Charvat alleges that the calls were pre-recorded without his consent. In the meantime, the company has been shut down.

In his suit, Philip Charvat issued a third-party travel agency, Resort Marketing Group.

The telemarketing firm charges consumers for sending them promotional material that does not meet their expectations. This type of telemarketing practice violates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The company also retains the profits from these unsolicited calls. If the suit is successful, Charvat’s attorneys can receive $3.1 million in compensation.

The defendants will receive $3.1 million in the settlement. According to the complaint, the telemarketing company sent out millions of automated telemarketing calls to a variety of people without their express consent. Moreover, Charvat’s attorneys will collect another $3.1 million from the settlement. The plaintiffs’ attorneys will get a third of the settlement. Despite the legal battle over the settlement, the court has made it clear that the practice of this type is unconscionable.

The Charvat lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by making automated calls to people who had not given their consent. In addition, the pre-recorded calls were made without the consent of the caller. The plaintiffs have been granted preliminary approval to the class action. It is still unclear whether the lawsuit will succeed or fail. If it is, it will be a victory for consumers.

The plaintiffs will receive a settlement of $3.1 million in a class-action case against the cruise lines and Resort Marketing Group.

The Cruise lines and Resort were sued by Charvat after he claimed that they made millions of automated telemarketing calls for them. Although the cruise lines have denied all of the allegations, the judge ruled that the telemarketing calls violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Despite the settlement, a settlement for Philip Charvat will only cover his attorneys’ legal fees.

In addition to the Cruise Lines, Charvat also sued Resort Marketing Group, a Batavia, Illinois-based company that made millions of automated telemarketing calls on behalf of cruise lines. Although the Cruise Lines denied the accusations against them, they are no longer in business. The $3.1 million settlement will go to the plaintiffs’ lawyers, including Matthew P. McCue and Burke Law Offices of Chicago. The Cook County Record says the request for $50,000 is excessive and the $5,000 award is typical for a class action plaintiff in Chicago. In the end, both parties agreed to settle the case, stating that Charvat and Wood were both engaged in extensive participation in the lawsuit.

Despite the large settlement, Charvat’s lawyers are still fighting to get the case dismissed.

She alleges that the Cruise Line violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending her automated telemarketing calls without her consent. As a result, a ruling was announced in her favor on the cruise line’s side. While the lawsuit is still in its early stages, the attorneys are negotiating a settlement to reach an out-of-court solution.

The Court found that the RMG telemarketing calls were unlawful and violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The plaintiffs are now pursuing compensation through the Charvat v. Carnival et al., a class-action lawsuit that will settle the claim for up to $7 million. The case will be resolved in the fall of 2016. It is not uncommon for a cruise line to receive thousands of such robocalls. The maximum payout is $500, but the actual payment will depend on the number of calls made and whether the claim is valid.
