Do you know about Dave Ramsey’s Lawsuit? We are talking about the popular Christian radio host and personal finance guru Dave Ramsey, who is facing a $150 million lawsuit filed by some listeners of his show allegedly defrauding people desperate to shed their timeshare shackles.
Some listeners of the show The Ramsey in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington filed Dave Ramsey’s Lawsuit.
Details of Dave Ramsey Lawsuit?
He was accused of negligent misrepresentation and promoting ‘deceptive, incomplete, and false information’ in violation of consumer protection laws.
The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington in April, claimed Ramsey received over $30 million between 2015 and 2021 to promote the Timeshare Exit Team on the show.
This Washington-based company operates as Reed Hein & Associated and promises to help customers terminate their timeshare contracts.
Just before Christmas, Dave Ramsey got good news when a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit in Tennessee. The employee also said that the company had a cut-like work environment.
In the lawsuit, Brad claimed that leaders of the Lampo group had misled him before he moved from California to Franklin, Tennessee. In the lawsuit, filed in 2021, Brad Amos’ attorney argued that she had been promised a drama-free and family-friendly work environment.
The company made headlines in recent years over Ramsey’s views on Covid-19. Another lawsuit was filed by a former worker, Caitlin O’Connor. She alleged that she was fired for being gay, which was settled in 2022.
It happened when she told her boss that she was pregnant before she had married. The company Ramsey Solutions said in its defense that they fired employees who had sex outside of marriage.
Like other class action lawsuits, some of the show’s listeners filed another one earlier this year. The Ramsey was paid millions to endorse Timeshare Exit Team, a now-shuttered Kirkland, Washington firm that allegedly collected over $200 million from its clients.
A video of Ramsey spread by a former rain gutter salesman, Reed Hein LLC, appears on the show’s YouTube page. The company shut down in 2022 after agreeing to pay the state a $2.61 million fine to stop making deceptive claims.
Ramsey’s company and the Happy Hour media group, which marketed the timeshare exit business name, were in the lawsuit that allegedly violated Washington state’s Consumer Protection Act and engaged in a conspiracy. United States District Judge Robart dismissed the enrichment claim with prejudice in October but rejected the lawsuit.
Most legal claims against Ramsey have centered on his management style, often guided by his religious beliefs. For instance, Amos claimed that he had a religious obligation to adhere to Covid-19 guidelines and promoted a faith-over-fear response to the pandemic. First, Amos sued in state court and then at the federal level, claiming that Ramsey had misled him about the company culture.
Judge Eli Richardson ruled that Brad Amos’s lawyers had failed to show that he had been misled. Furthermore, the judge said that representing a company as drama-free or friendly was a statement of opinion, not a promise.
Judge Richardson also ruled that the plaintiff failed to prove his dispute with Ramsey’s leadership over the covid-19. Meanwhile, Amos’s lawyers said, we respect the court decision but respectfully disagree with the ruling. We plan on appealing the decision to the 6th circuit.
