The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is the most important federal law protecting consumers from unwanted phone calls. Enacted in 1991, it has been updated multiple times to address modern robocall technology.
What the TCPA Covers
The TCPA restricts calls made using auto-dialers or prerecorded messages to cell phones without prior express consent. This includes the robocalls and scam voicemails that NumBan helps you report.
Your Right to Take Action
Under the TCPA, you can sue violators for $500 per call, or $1,500 per call if the violation was willful. Class action lawsuits are also permitted, and many have resulted in significant settlements.
How NumBan Supports Your Rights
Every report you file through NumBan creates a documented, timestamped, evidence-backed complaint. This paper trail can support both carrier enforcement actions and potential legal claims. Some reports may qualify for review by our partner law firm.
