Marvin places his telephone number on the national do-not-call list. After six months, Marvin is still receiving telemarketing calls. Particularly annoying to Marvin are the robocalls - those autodialed, prerecorded commercial telemarketing messages! Marvin hates telemarketing calls anyway, and if a live person cannot take the time to actually place the call, Marvin sure has no use for them. Marvin files a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about the robocalls. Marvin could also sue the companies that placed the calls. If Marvin chooses to sue the companies that placed the calls:

If Marvin chooses to sue the companies that placed the calls, it is very likely that he could get between $500 to $1,500 as damages on every Text Message or Call that he got after he had placed his telephone number on the national do-not-call list.

This is so because the range of award in damages stipulated by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) falls right between that range. If it is established that the company intentionally continuously sent recorded calls or messages to its customers, against their wishes, then the maximum amount of $1,500 may be awarded.

The TCPA is a federal law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), help to enforce the TCPA.
