Robocalls have become a widespread problem throughout the United States. Just about all of us can relate to the annoyance experienced when telemarketers, debt collectors, and other parties contact us using automated dialers and prerecorded messages.

Fighting Back Against Telemarketers In Wisconsin

Fortunately, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) makes it easier for consumers to fight back against telephone harassment. In most cases, robocalls are illegal and directly in violation of this federal law. The consumers who receive these illegal calls, texts, and faxes have the option to seek between $500 and $1,500 for every violation.

The TCPA: Federal Robocall Law

All commercial callers are legally obligated to follow the federal guidelines of the TCPA, which include:

  • The use of automated dialers and prerecorded messages is prohibited unless the recipient of the call has given express written permission to receive such calls.
  • Consumers who have given express written permission have the right to revoke this permission at any time in any reasonable way.
  • Consent can only be given by the person being called, not the intended recipient of the call.
  • A previous existing business relationship is not a valid excuse for making robocalls or using prerecorded messages.
  • Callers must stop called a reassigned phone number after the first call.
  • Text messages are the same as calls.
  • Calls may not be made before 8 am or after 9 pm local time.

For unknowing violations of the TCPA, $500 may be recovered for each illegal call, text, and fax. Willful violations of this law are subject to $1,500 for each violation.

Robocall Laws In Wisconsin

Wisconsin is one of many states with their own laws on telephone solicitations. Residents of Wisconsin are protected both by the state laws and the federal TCPA law. Under state law, telephone solicitors must follow these rules:

  • May not use electronically prerecorded messages without the consent of the recipient of the call.
  • May not make calls to phone numbers on the state do-not-call registry.
  • May not call a nonresidential customer if that customer has provided notice by mail to the solicitor that he or she does not want to receive telephone solicitations.
  • Upon a call recipient's request, solicitors must provide a mailing address where the recipient can notify the solicitor that he or she does not want to receive telephone solicitations.

    • Screenshots of text messages and printouts for faxes
    • The phone numbers that contacted you
    • The phone number and type of phone you were contacted on (landline or cell phone?)

      • A click, beeping sound, or pause after answering (signs of an autodialer)?
      • Did you speak to a live person?
      • Was contact information provided for the party calling you?
      • Was an opt-out mechanism provided during the call?
