MIAMI – A Michigan consumer has filed a class-action lawsuit accusing a West Palm Beach company of using an unlawful telemarketing campaign.

Richard Frost filed a complaint individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated on March 21 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against National Auto Protection Corp. alleging violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that his phone number is registered on the National Do Not Call Registry.
