ARE YOU LISTED ON THE “DO NOT CALL REGISTRY”?
HAS A BUSINESS CONTACTED YOU THAT:
You had NO prior business relationship with or if you did have a prior relationship, did you inform them in writing not to call you?
- Was the purpose of the business call to solicit your business?
If the answer to the above questions are “YES”, remedies may be available to you for violation of the “National Do-Not-Call Registry”.
California State Law:
The State Attorney General at
www.complaints.donotcall.gov, or your county District Attorney, or your City Attorney, may seek civil penalties.- An individual may seek an injunction to prevent further calls. If the entity makes a call in violation within 30 days of the injunction, the Individual may seek an action in small claims court for up to $1,000 in penalties
Federal Law:
Federal law states if the entity violates the law more than once in a 12-month period, a private action may be sought against the offending entity for actual monetary loss or $500, whichever is greater.
