Hilton Grand Vacations Fined Over Violating NY Do Not Call Law

A settlement agreement has been reached between New York State and Hilton Grand Vacations Company over unsolicited telemarketing sales calls in violation of the state's Do Not Call law.

The violations included 334 unsolicited calls to 133 consumers who were registered on the National Do Not Call registry.

Governor Andrew Cuomo says the company agreed to pay a settlement of $250,500 and change business practices before continuing to make such calls to New York consumers.

“New York State created the Do Not Call Law to ensure that residents who opt out of receiving promotional calls are not forced to deal with these harassing messages,” Governor Cuomo said. “This settlement will serve as a reminder that companies who violate this law will face consequences and that our administration will continue to protect New Yorkers from these unfair tactics.”
