Hekmat Law Group is investigating reports from individuals claiming to have received a phone call or voicemail from XFinity Comcast about cutting their monthly XFinity bill. Many of these people are not even XFinity clients. This could be a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and individuals receiving such voicemails could be entitled to $500 to $1,500 per call/voicemail.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 was enacted to regulate the explosive growth of the telemarketing industry, the use of automatic telephone dialing systems and artificial or prerecorded voice messages, and the transmission of unsolicited advertisements via facsimile machines. Since then, numerous regulations have been introduced by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to enhance the TCPA provisions.
The TCPA provisions provide for statutory damages of $500 per each violation. Up to $1000 can be added per each violation when the violator’s conduct was willful. Under the TCPA, telemarketers are prohibited from directing automatically dialed phone calls or text messages to consumers, unless they obtain prior consent, and in certain circumstances the consent must expressed in writing.
