What is the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”)?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) was passed into law in 1991. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) is empowered to issue rules and regulations implementing the TCPA. Among other things, the TCPA allows individuals to file lawsuits and collect damages for receiving unsolicited telemarketing calls, faxes, pre-recorded calls or autodialed calls.
