On Friday, 7/14/2023, I started looking at medical coverage plans as my new job contract had insurance rates that were ridiculous. So I went to the BCBSTX website to look and see what rates would be if I paid for it myself. What I did not catch was that the link I clicked to "Check rates" too me to an information field that went to Healthcare Marketplace. Not the actual Healthcare.gov site, but a totally different site.
Within literal MINUTES, I was bombarded with calls from people wanting to sell me insurance. and when I say bombarded, I mean on 7/14/2023 alone, I received no less than 26 calls, 4 text messages, 2 voice mails, and an email that was literally sent a 1:17 AM!!! I started a spreadsheet to track all of these calls that came in as many of them were from the same number several times, one of which called three times between 3:09 pm and 4:27 pm.
I have now received 145 calls as of 7/27/2023...some companies have called in excess of 9-11 times in that time span. This constitutes literal harassment as I have told all of these people to stop calling me now. Since this originated with Healthcare Marketplace giving my information to all of these agencies, I think the onus is on them for allowing this situation to happen to begin with.
How can I sue Healthcare Marketplace for this harassment. I emailed them and their legal team and let them know that if calls did not stop and I was removed from their list, that I would sue them for $1000 per call I received past 7/19/2023....and as of right now, that constitutes 55 calls. And if not Haelthcare Marketplace, how can I go about suing the individual companies for harassment of this nature after they have been notified to stop calling?
