The TCPA In Recent News
Recently it has been in the news about Robo-calls, or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; called for short TCPA. The case reported on Nelson and Joyce Coniglio of Florida who were awarded a major judgement as a result of robo-calls.
The Coniglio’s were in foreclosure with Bank of America and over the course of 4 years received in excess of 700 robo-calls. Now I’ve told you that each robo-call can be sanctioned by the court from between $500 to $1500, Well you should multiply 700 calls by $1500 per call and see what this would result in.
I believe that the judge wanted to send a message to Bank of America. The judge did send a message to Bank of America and actually this message was actually a slap on the wrist compared to the nearly 17 billion dollar fine Bank of America paid the federal government for improper financial dealings with consumers. These improper dealings have helped to cause our great depression.
Now I want to give you a disclaimer that what you are about to see is not a typical results in most robo-call cases, unfortunately, but it is instructive and interesting and worth noting that the law is serious about stopping robo-calls.
Let’s watch some television news stories about Nelson and Joyce Coniglio.
