The complaint is based on these companies violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). They made repeated telemarketing calls to her cell phone. Despite her requests for the calls to stop, the companies continued to contact her without her prior express written consent.

The Complaint

Jennifer Murtoff’s Complaint against My Eye Dr. Optometrists, LLC, and Capital Vision Services, LLC centers on repeated, unwanted telemarketing calls to her cell phone. These calls used a prerecorded and artificial voice to promote their services, specifically urging her to schedule eye exams.

She describes how the calls caused significant annoyance and frustration, interrupting her daily life and peace. Her complaint seeks relief through various means. The Plaintiff feels the need for accountability and adherence to consumer protection laws, seeing the impact of such persistent intrusions on individuals’ lives.

Claims for Relief

The plaintiff seeks several forms of relief in her complaint against My Eye Dr. Optometrists, LLC, and Capital Vision Services, LLC. She requests an injunction to prevent the companies from continuing their violations of the TCPA. Additionally, she seeks statutory damages of $500 for each unauthorized call made by the defendants. For calls made willfully, she seeks treble damages of up to $1,500 per call. Murtoff also requests an award of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in bringing the lawsuit, and any other relief the court deems just and proper.
