If you’ve been getting recorded voicemails or robocalls meant for someone else, the TCPA says you can recover $500 to $1,500 per call. Each one. It’s a federal law, not a state thing.

This happens a lot when you get a new cell number because the previous owner had accounts with banks or debt collectors and they never updated the file. It also happens when a company simply has the wrong number listed for a customer.

Either way, automated calls to a cell phone without your consent are illegal. The list of companies that have already paid out on this is long. Wells Fargo, Navient, JPMorgan Chase, Synchrony, Adobe, Cox. Attorneys are actively taking new cases.
