When telemarketing practices become overly intrusive, they can be illegal. While bringing a successful claim is legally challenging, gathering the evidence you need can make a big difference. One of the most important steps you can take when it comes to bringing a spam call or text lawsuit is consulting with an experienced consumer rights attorney at The Law Offices of Jibrael S. Hindi early on.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was enacted for the exact purpose of combating overly aggressive marketing calls and texts. The goal is to protect consumers like you from unwanted autodialed messages, robocalls, and texts.
The TCPA requires companies that generate marketing calls and texts to obtain the express written consent of recipients prior to spamming their cell phones. In addition, there are strict constraints that limit when calls can be made, which translates to between the hours of 8 AM and 9 PM local time.
The TCPA also mandates that telemarketers must clearly identify themselves and the businesses they represent. This is in addition to providing a number that the person on the other end can use to call back.
Telemarketing businesses are required to maintain accurate Do Not Contact Lists of their own and to check the National Do Not Call Registry before calling.
These strict regulations are among the few tools that consumers have when it comes to holding aggressive telemarketing companies accountable. And sometimes, that means heading to court.
In order to gather the kind of evidence you need to bring a strong spam call or text lawsuit, keep all the following in mind:
