The plaintiff, Terry Wayne Hughes, sued under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Texas Debt Collection Act, and the Telephonic Consumer Protection Act, alleging that the defendant engaged in impermissible debt collection activity through automated collection telephone calls despite instructions to cease. Following service with no appearance within the statutory period, the plaintiff moved for entry of default under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court entered default.

The plaintiff has complied, seeking $1,000 in statutory damages under 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)(2)(A) and 47 U.S.C. § § 227(b)(3)(B) and (C), and costs and reasonable fees under 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)(3). The plaintiff has established its entitlement to the statutory damages. The plaintiff also seeks statutory damages of at least $500 for each of the 48 calls received, totaling $24,000, under 47 U.S.C. § § 227(b)(3)(B). The plaintiff is entitled to $500 in damages per call, for a total of $24,000.
