Santa Clara, CA: A class action lawsuit has been filed in California against a residential solar electric systems provider, alleging the company called its customers' cell phones without their consent, in direct violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
Filed by named plaintiff, Lori Golden, individually and for all others similarly situated, the complaint alleges American Pro Energy contacted consumers using automatic telephone dialing equipment and in so doing caused Golden and other class members to suffer aggravation, nuisance and invasion of privacy, the lawsuit asserts.
Golden and others in the class seek damages of $500 per violating call, treble damages of $1,500 per violating call, and injunctive relief. They are represented by attorneys Ronald A. Marron, Alexis Wood and Kas Gallucci of the Law Offices of Ronald A. Marron in San Diego, and by Greg Weston and David Elliot of The Weston Firm in San Diego.
The case is US District Court for the Central District of California Case number 5:16-CV-00891-MWF-DTB.

The do not call list and my repeated requests to have me removed from their lists don’t matter. I think on my next call which will be tomorrow because I get these calls daily for the last several months i’ll agree to have them install solar but instead give them an address where high gang activity and violence exists. Have fun fellas...

I receive calls daily. Please get the name of their CEO and I'll call him daily at home.

Experienced the same thing. I’ve asked so many times to be taken off the list. Sometimes they call 2-3 times a day. I block the number, more pop up. It’s harassment. And tre people are honestly entertained by it.

Their representatives call me every day from multiple numbers. I have nicely, and not so nicely, requested to be removed from their list. They never do. I block a number, the next day a new one calls me. Today I was called a “motherf*****g c***t b***h” when I told them to remove me from their list. I’ll be looking into that class action, though I’m not convinced they’re even a legitimate entity that any money could be taken from.

Day after day I am receiving phone calls from these guys. Always from a different number. I have asked them to remove my number multiple times but they refuse. Ridiculous.

Received a call today and after asking to be put on their do not call list I was threaten with physical violence. Mike Enriquez said he would give me his address so that we could meet up for what is presumed to be a fight. I have no ideas who they think they are.

I receive up to 5 calls per day. I travel internationally on business and the calls wake me. They use multiple names and phone numbers so there is no way to block them. If I ask them to remove me from the call list they say "We have rules here. We will not remove you form the call list".

Continues to call me about 2-3 times per week. It's so obvious they use an auto-dialer.

This company has a person named “DAN” (yeah right) who is harassing me. He has called me about 37 times from their phone numbers over the past 4 hours. He won’t stop. I asked him not to call me again on my cell phone and to remove me from his call list and he flat out refused. He called me crazy, he was rude and arrogant and I'm very stressed out. I asked to speak to a manager and he refused that, once I hung up on him he kept calling back. I have blocked his number and each number every time he calls. I even call back that number and press option 2 to remove myself from the call and yet he continues to harass me. I don't get it. Please help me stop them. this is ridiculous.

Same complaints as everyone here. They are aggressive and rude. They also lie and will not stop calling. Happy to join in on a class action to shut them down. Just post the info.

This was the most disgusting company that has ever tried to call me. The person who called was truly a bully, could barely speak English, and when I asked them not to call me that I was on a do not call list he made fun of me and repeated what I was saying in a cry baby type tone. It was not repeated back verbatim so it did not appear to be an auto repeat of what I was saying, but I have never been so insulted by a company trying to sell anything in my life! The number they called me from was 415-854-4514 and when I tried to call back and complain you can't speak to anyone and can only select 2 to be placed on the do not call list (um, wasn't I already on the NATIONAL do not call list). This really was a distressful call and still has me upset nearly two hours later.

They had called me several times over the last couple weeks and today I asked again to be removed from their call list and I was told that they were going to continue to call me everyday especially while I am sleeping.

I have also been called daily by different phone numbers from this company. I have told them several times that I am not a homeowner. They promised to stop calling and take me off of their call list but I continue to receive daily phone calls. I would like to be included in this lawsuit due to the constant harrassment and being lied to daily about being taken off of their call list. I tried calling Ronald Marron;s law office just now but was unable to reach anyone.

Have received multiple calls from this company, and each time I have said to be put on their do not call list. Had a supervisor promise me she would do this. What a joke! Will be reporting them for sure.

i have been a telemarketer for this company. we are prevented from deleting the phone numbers of customers. we would be terminated for even attempting it. both the solar industry and the home improvement industry are rife with telescams like the one described. i hate every minute thaqt i am at these places. but the are the only jobs available to people like myself, and i need to feed myself

I have received numerous calls from this company and keep advising them I am the do not call list. The last call number came up as 3-234-446-6110; apparently putting the 3 in front of then number prevents call blocking. This company deserves a gigantic slap and monetary fine.

Guys - here's what you do to get off their list!
SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT.
Get the Solar Company's name and waste the technicians time. Get stuff in writing and forward to these attorneys!
When these local solar companies realize that their leads are all bunk and they are potentially involved in litigation they will stop.

I keep asking them to stop calling me, I have resorted to speaking inappropriately to them to try and get removed from their list. I have set numerous numbers to auto reject and they keep switching numbers. I receive on average 1-2 calls a week up to 4 I believe. How do I get off their list?

They are also known as A1 Solar Power. Give them a call at (855) 410-4700. I'm sure they'd love to hear from everyone.

Countless calls to my cell phone, offering solar services, over the past 2 months or so. I've asked every time to put me on the 'do not call' list, and yet I still get a call 2-3 times a week. I block all their numbers, but still get calls, as they seem to have a long list of outgoing numbers. Calling from 408 area code numbers. Same area code as my number. Often hang up after I complain. Sometimes argue with me after I tell them to stop calling.

“I understand how you feel.”
“Many Home Owner's felt the same way when I first called them.”
“However, they found that we helped them to reduce costs, save Money, generate more electricity] which resulted in [annual savings of $840/ 100.00, reduced waste by 90 to 100%....
Lot of the comment's is just regarding about the calls, But have you ever notice or read about the service?
Of course not!...its about saving you money, making you money & eliminating those high crazy electrical bills...

I have received numerous calls from this company and have filed an FCC Complaint on 12.29.16 They will not stop calling even after I told them I am on the do not call register.

We are receiving harassing calls too, even with being on the DNC list as well as having asked the company to cease calling. When asked to stop calling, they repeatedly argue and then hang up.

These rude people call me at least once a week and they won't stop calling. When you try to tell them anything that they don't want to hear, they just hang up on you. What action can we take against them?
Posted by Rob Bertholf

Still harassing me too. Don't even have my real name, told them each call to remove me but they just hang up, or say something vulgar and then hang up on me.

I get several calls a day from them from a number in el cajon ca. I have asked them several times to stop calling my cell phone, asked to be taken off their list, asked to be put on their do not call list and they refuse only continue to agressively answer allckinds of questions about my home. Even after telling them i have solar, a newer very energy efficient home they continue to dig and dig and wont stop calling and asking questions. Sounds like the same philipino/asian lady each time as well. Make it stop!

I have been called by this company for over half a year. I am on the national do not call list and have told representatives of American Pro Energy this. I have also tried to take myself off of their proprietary call list several times. The constant harassment over the phone has not stopped.

My calls come from a 951 area code, 3 to 4 times daily, from different numbers. I have blocked many of the numbers, but new calls come from a different number, still representing American Pro Energy. They state they want to talk to me about my Edison bill and renewable energy, but I can barely understand what they are saying. I have asked several times for them to stop calling, I am not interested, and to remove my cell number from their list. I still received a call, just this morning.

I have received numerous calls from this company. They argue with me that it is not a sales call, they act like they're affiliated with PG&E. They are in clear violation of the do not call and TCPA. They just straight-up lie. Even after I tell them I used to work for a solar installer and know what they're up to. It's infuriating. The last call was after 3 pm today, 9/2/16.

I receive calls from American Pro Energy, originating from WIndsor, CA. On no less than a dozen occasions I have requested to have my number removed from their lists and have specifically demanded they no longer call my number, obviously they are ignoring the demand.
