The TCPA class includes anyone who received a Verizon debt collection call from Collecto Inc. since June 14, 2008.  The IPA class includes “California residents who received a call on their cellphones from Collecto in its capacity as a third-party vendor engaged by Verizon to collect Pre-Writeoff Debts, where the call was answered by the recipient between Sept. 10, 2010 to the present date“.
