Multiple employees of our law firm have been receiving recorded calls from this company and we are very interested in speaking with anyone who has been contacted by this number on their cell phone. You may be legally entitled to make those calls stop and potentially receive financial compensation.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is a federal law that makes it illegal for a company to use an auto-dialer to make a call to a cellphone without the prior written consent of the recipient. Businesses are allowed to call consumers at home using an auto-dialer, but not your cell phone. If prior consent was given, it can easily be withdrawn.
If the caller violates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, there’s a penalty of $500 for each call, and if the caller knows he is violating the law, as most do, the penalty is $1,500. While you don’t always know if the call is coming from an automatic dialer, one hint is if you answer the phone and there’s a moment of silence. During this period the call is most likely being transferred from the automated service to a live person.
If you have been contacted by this company or any other using a recording or auto-dialing system on your cell phone we would like to speak with you. We may be able to assist you in making these calls stop, contact Arguello, Hope & Associates at 281-532-5529 or 1-800-257-8676.
