Unwanted Phone Calls
Today, if you are like most consumers, your mobile phone probably goes with you nearly everywhere. However, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act makes it clear that you have a right to privacy and a right to be left alone by telemarketers and debt collectors attempting to call on your mobile phone. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”) is a federal law that, in part, protects consumers from telephone harassment or unwanted phone calls or “robocalls” and spam texts placed to their mobile phones or cell phones by telemarketers and debt collectors.
The TCPA Protects Consumers Against Telephone Harassment?
For Texas consumers, some of the most important provisions of the TCPA include:
- Prohibiting debt collectors and telemarketers from making unwanted phone calls without your prior express consent to your mobile phone using an automatic telephone dialing system (i.e., an “autodialer” or “robodialer”).
- Providing you with the right to sue the debt collector or solicitor and the right to recover up to $1,500 per call or actual damages suffered (whichever is greater), if you are a victim of unwanted phone calls.
- The right to seek an injunction against the offending business in order to prevent further violations of the TCPA for unwanted phone calls and/or spam texts.
