» Telemarketers Wont Stop Calling Litigious Consumer: Fight Back Against Companies that Break the Law

I have no idea if this is true or not, but it's worth a shot since I get about 5 calls a day from someone named Erica. They start calling at 8:00 am - really pisses me off! I'm not an advocate on filing lawsuits, but I think asking the telemarketer to send you a copy of their do-not-call rules and asking them to quit calling might do the trick.

"Does your phone ring off the hook from unknown phone numbers? If so you may be entitled to get paid for your troubles. The do not call registry is not the way to get back at these fools that call you without your permission. The DNC rules do not give consumers a private right of action, but the Telephone Consumer Protection Act does The Telephone Consumer Protection Act allows you to sue telemarketers for various violations."

"One of the best ways is to find out who is calling you is to use some of the reverse look-up services online, anywho.com is my favorite. Anywho will let you check for all different kind of numbers, however any of the reverse look up services work just fine. One of the things that telemarketers do to violate the TCPA is not providing you with their do not call rules. If you ask a telemarketer to stop calling you and to send a copy of their do not call rules and they don’t you have the ability to sue them. It is a fairly simple process and if you goto your local small claims court and ask them the procedures they are usually very helpful. This is just typical of cold calling spam by telemarketers. There are also some software available to make telemarketers stop calling you. Making telemarketers stop harassing you should be your first option."
