Your TCPA Rights Explained

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act protects consumers from unwanted calls.

What is the TCPA?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law enacted in 1991 that restricts telemarketing, auto-dialed calls, prerecorded messages, and unsolicited faxes. It gives consumers the right to take legal action against violators.

What Does the TCPA Prohibit?

The TCPA prohibits calls using auto-dialers or prerecorded messages to cell phones without prior express consent. This includes robocalls, scam voicemails, and many forms of telemarketing. Violations can result in damages of $500–$1,500 per call.

How NumBan Helps

When you report a scam voicemail through NumBan, we route an abuse complaint to the carrier responsible for the callback number. This creates a documented trail of complaints that can support both carrier enforcement and potential legal action.

Can I Sue?

In many cases, yes. The TCPA allows private lawsuits and class actions. Some reports filed through NumBan may qualify for further review by our partner law firm. NumBan does not provide legal advice — consult an attorney for your specific situation.
