The reason my cell phone and house phone numbers are listed on "Do Not Call' is to stop such telemarketing calls, but 'Do Not Call' does not seem to be working. Am continuing to get several telemarketing calls and text messages offering cash or stating my credit card is in good standing or some language to that effect, but we'd like to offer . . etc. Have yet to wait and hear their whole spcheel. Still, it is annoying and it costs me for their calls and text messages on my Go-Phone. Maddening to say the least!
I got the same call and pressed one and told the guy I am on a do not call list and told him to take me off and he hung up on me. I thought these do not call lists were suppose to keep these people from calling you!
While this info is partially correct. It is not giving all of the facts...
The calls are only $1000 for ALL calls unless made to a cellular phone and then it's $500-$1500 per call $500 unintentional, $1500 intentional. Once the suit is filed the complaint has to be served, and answered.
There is a rigorous jury trial, or if it is small claims court you & the defendant go before the judge, and you have to prove your case. Then the judge rules.
It's not as easy as "They have to pay $1000..." most of these people are hiding out in basements calling people and you"ll never even get as far as service.
