NC's Robocall Complaint Against Articul8 Entered Into Default

The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina entered into default North Carolina's complaint against Articul8 and owner Paul Talbot on suspected illegal robocalls, said an order Monday in case 1:22-cv-00058 (see 2201250052). Articul8 "cooperated with the North Carolina Department of Justice investigation, supplying them with billions of records and other data so that the Attorney General could trace ... the origins since Articul8’s customers do not originate or terminate the calls," emailed Talbot: "However, instead of using the ample data provided by Articul8 to get closer to the cause of the problem, the Attorney General used it to file this complaint, by which he not only violated his own anti-robocall [principles], but also further continues to cause the people of his state to get bombarded with calls." Talbot and his company don't have the "legal or financial resources to mount a defense ... but plan to make the facts public so the industry, consumers and people of North Carolina know why their daily lives continue to be interrupted and harassed."
