Do Not Call Laws Remain Active
It’s been five years since the Federal “Do-Not Call” law was enacted and consumers registered their phone numbers. But wasn’t the registration good for only five years? So, the law no longer applies, right? WRONG!
Originally, consumers were required to re-register if they wanted to continue on the Do Not Call list. However in February 2008, legislation was passed that changed that. Consumers no longer need to register their phone number again for the second time. Their original “Do-Not-Call “status remains active.
No change in regulations about cell phone numbers either. You’re still prohibited from calling these numbers unless you have specific written permission or request to contact them at their cell number.
This means companies are still required to observe all Federal and State laws. The penalty for improperly calling just a single number on the Do-Not-call list is a whopping $11,000 dollars at the federal level and up to $25,000 bucks for additional state imposed fines!
