These Telemarketing Laws are for
Phone Solicitors calling States with No Call Laws. Telemarketers
must be aware of State, National "Do Not Call Law"
and Direct Marketing Association "No Call Law" written
for consumers wanting to stop telemarketing calls. No phone
solicitation law, rules and regulations are constantly changing,
and "No Call Law" violations can carry serious fines
and associated legal fees. Please
click on the following links for the latest on "Do Not Call
Law" and Legislation.
And
check out our look into the archives of Copilevitz & Canter
- #1 "No Call List" Attorneys in the Country.
FTC Fines are now $16,000. per violation. The FCC says it "will default to the more stringent of the two whether State or Federal DNC Laws". And some States (Like California) are issuing citations based on the National List.
When working with Predictive Dialers
(not automatic dialers, as they are now illegal with few exceptions)
please note the following FTC regulations: 1. No more
than 3% of outbound calls may be abandoned 2. Calls not connected
to an agent within two seconds must hear a pre-recorded message
stating the name and phone number of the calling party. 3.
Must not disconnect unanswered calls in less than 15 seconds
or 4 ring cycles. 4. Caller ID must be provided by outbound
calls. 5. Outbound calls must adhere to State and Federal
permitted time calling windows, including time zone changes.
(ie it's the time in the place your calling to that counts!).
Also note: The FTC demands you download
their list every 30 days. Wireless and wireless portability
every 15 days. Wireless numbers may not be called with auto
or predictive dialers, only hand dialing. Do Not Call Protection
represents the top companies in the Do Not Call Compliance
business with a perfect 6 year track record.
