First Arkansas Bank & Trust, et. al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division, Case No. 4:16CV00371 BSM. Plaintiff alleges that FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST (“Defendant”) and others violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., by sending facsimile transmissions (available on the Court Documents page of this website), either themselves or through a third party entity, on or after January 15, 2012, advertising the commercial availability or quality of property, goods, or services related to “Doctors Club” credit cards. Defendant denies all liability and wrongdoing whatsoever. The Court has not ruled on the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims or Defendant’s defenses.
