Law Glossary
Consumer fraud is commonly defined as deceptive business practices that cause consumers to suffer financial or other losses. The victims believe they are participating in a legal and valid business transaction when they are actually being defrauded. Fraud against consumers is often related to false promises or inaccurate claims made to consumers, as well as practices that directly cheat consumers out of their money.
Law Glossary
TCPA is the abbreviation for the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. The law restricts telemarketing certain phone calls, text messages, and facsimiles. It also places restrictions on the use of automatic dialing systems and artificial or prerecorded voice messages. Collections’ actions by phone are also regulated under the act. Consumers may file complaints with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) when TCPA is violated. Since TCPA law governs consumer rights, lawsuits may also be filed by consumers who suffer violations.
Law Glossary
The field of telemarketing law covers U.S. legislation, federal agency regulations, and state statutes that determine how telemarketers can contact consumers and businesses by phone or text message. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) restrict telemarketing calls, automatic phone dialing, and prerecorded messages. TCPA also requires telemarketers to obtain consumers’ signed written consent before robocalling or robotexting them.
