Have you been targeted with unwanted debt collection calls from Wells Fargo, without having any prior affiliation with that bank? These unwanted debt collection calls may violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and you may be able to join a class action lawsuit investigation.

Unwanted Debt Collection Calls

Back in 1991, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was first introduced in order to temper the rise of telemarketing calls made using automatic dialing equipment. Since then, as technology has advanced, the TCPA has expanded to also include text messaging. Under the TCPA, consumers are able to file a lawsuit against companies that fail to abide by its requirements.

So what exactly does the TCPA entail? Under the TCPA, callers are restricted from using an automatic dialing system to call consumers on either their cell phones or landlines. Further, callers are not allowed to use an artificial or prerecorded voice message system in this way. The TCPA restricts companies from calling cell phones without the prior express consent of the consumer.

The TCPA is given its power by the consumers, who can file a civil TCPA lawsuit to hold companies to account for their actions. Anyone who receives either calls or texts that violate the TCPA may be able to file a TCPA lawsuit. Violations may also result in statutory damages of between $500 and $1,500 per violation.
