Specifically, the allegations stated that customers with Macy’s credit card account received automated calls to their cell phones from Department Stores National Bank and/or FDS Bank for debt collection purposes.
A $12.5 million settlement was reached in a class action lawsuit over those alleged improper automated calls. The case is Ameer A. Hashw v. Department Stores National Bank, and FDS Bank, case no. 0:13-cv-00727-RHK-BRT.
