Comcast Cable Moves to Compel Ex-Subscriber's TCPA Claims to Arbitration

Though Comcast Cable denies the allegations of former subscriber Na’eem Betz that it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by hounding him with calls offering him a discount on an old account (see 2304280051), his allegations “fall squarely within the arbitration provision that he agreed to as a Comcast customer,” said Comcast’s motion Monday (docket 1:23-cv-01177) in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel Betz’s claims to arbitration. Comcast also moved to stay the litigation pending the outcome of that arbitration. Comcast’s counsel conferred with Betz twice in June, and the pro se plaintiff indicated “he opposes the relief requested in this motion,” it said.
