I have requested a company remove me from thier list. I am still getting
calls. Today the rep was SO RUDE and when asked for his name, and his phone,
he refused. He also indicated he was not familiar with the
Telecommunications act.
I want to file charges.
What are the steps? I live in Alameda County California

If this is not right group, please point me to it.

Thanks
Bp

It's actually the Communications Act of 1934. The law your thinking about
is probably the Telephone Consumers Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991. It can
be found at 47 USC 227 and 47 CFR 64.1200.

Thanks,

I these people really got my goat, and I do want to procede with filing a
suit (I know I used the wrong term in the subject) and from what I
understand, if I have requested that I be removed, and I do not have any
prior contact or "working relationship" That they have 48 hrs. Also when
requested, the have to provide their name and a contact number. They also
have to be aware of the company's DO NOT CALL policy.
At this point, I want them to pay...
I can under stand telemarketing, but they do need to live by the rules, and
not pester people...
It does look like Telephone Consumers Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 is the
correct law though, and sorry for the confusion....

Signed,
Fedup with CRAP...

OR if you're not some moron living in a trailer in Plover, Wisconsin, you
can just take a peek in the phone book and see how to block the calls that
way.

And give everyone else a good laugh at you being an idiot too.
