The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) restricts telemarketing calls, telephone solicitations and the use of automated telephone equipment, such as automated dialing machines, types of voice messages, fax and text messages.
Whom does the TCPA protect?
Any consumer who applies for credit or a loan is from then on protected under this legislation. If you owe money to a creditor or lender in any amount, they must follow the regulations of the TCPA when they contact you by phone regarding your payments.
What compensation is available?
The TCPA provides for $500 and possibly up to $1,500 per violation.
Should I keep any documentation?
Yes. Keep any records of calls, texts or voicemails that you have received that you believe may have violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
How do I report TCPA violations?
Collecting all documentation of calls, texts or voicemails you have received should be priority number one. Then, contact an experienced Telephone Consumer Protection (TCPA) Attorney to assist you.
