This is a page to talk about my adventures in suing telemarketers under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA).<\/p>\n

The basic rules are that violations of the TCPA is actionable by a lawsuit in small claims court. Each violation is $500, and if it can be proven that the violation was done “willfully and knowingly” it’s $1500. That is per violation<\/b> not per call, and most calls contain multiple violations. <\/p>\n

This page will document the various telemarketing calls as I receive and note them. You can also read all my blog posts that have the category tcpa<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a list of folks that have called me<\/p>\n\n

Feature Films for Families
\nPO Box 572410
\nMurray, UT 84157
\n2\/18\/2009: Phone call received from 208-333-2230. It took 3 times asking before the man on the phone would identify himself, and he only refered to himself as “Jesse” – no last name. Hung up on me when I asked to be added to their do-not-call list
\n2\/19\/2009: Demand letter sent – requesting to be added to their do-not-call list and receive a written copy of their do-not-call policy. Reply required by 3\/13\/2009.

Air Tite Windows
\n3\/11\/2009: Phone call received at 5:45 p.m. from 513-463-2121. Older lady identified herself as Doris Horvet (Sp?). She said the phone number of Air-Tite was 877-247-8483. Said that her company did have an internal do not call list. Requested my number be added and a written copy of their do not call policy. She said that she wasn’t sure if they did that. I told her that if they didn’t then they were in violation of the TCPA. She said she would pass my request on to her supervisor.<\/p>\n\n

9\/23\/2009: Phone call received at 8:15 pm from Emery Financial in Middletown – 513-217-5435. I spoke to someone who identified himself as Ashok. It appears to be this gentleman<\/a> – Ashok Ghildyal<\/p>\n

I couldn’t find my TCPA sheets! so I just winged it. I asked if his company kept a list of numbers it had been asked not to call. He said that he thought they did keep such a list and it got “scrubbed from time to time” but sometimes those numbers didn’t get called. I requested him for to add my name to that list. I also asked for a copy of their do not call policy, and verified that he had my address.<\/p>\n

He then had the gall to ask me, after that, if I was a veteran or would qualify for a VA mortgage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
