Good morning mathom-ga and thank you for the questions. Without a doubt, there are many lawyers you can talk to who specialize in junk fax cases and violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) The Federal law passed in 1991 known as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act makes it illegal to send any material transmitted via facsimile that advertises the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods, or services which is transmitted to any person without that person's prior express invitation or permission. If the fax was deliberately sent to you, federal law entitles you to recover a minimum of $500 and, depending the judge's discretion, up to $1,500 for each such fax that you receive. Public Law 102-243: ( http://www.junkfaxes.org/TCPA/pl102243.htm ) US Code Title 47, Section 227 : ( http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode47/usc_sec_47_00000227----000-.html ) FCC Regulations: ( http://www.fcc.gov/ ) Additionally, these websites might be of interest to you: Junkfax.org ( http://www.junkfax.org ) ( http://www.junkfax.org/fax/basic_info/attorneys.htm ): This site lists attorneys in your area who might be able to help you. tcpalaw.com ( http://www.tcpalaw.com/ ) I hope this answers your question. If you would like clarification before rating my answer, please do not hesitate to ask and good luck! Nenna-GA Google Researcher |

If you are in the U.K., register your fax number with the Fax Preference Service at http://www.fpsonline.org.uk/fps/. I used to get 10 junk faxes per week. Since I registered, I have received none. You can also register your phone number, or your address (and there is even a baby-related mail preference service) at related sections of the website. There are corporate versions of all these services if you run a business. |

I use Fax Recovery Systems, Inc. (www.faxrecoverysystems.com) service to track down the junk faxes I receive. Best of all FRS pays me $100.00 for each junk fax for which they can obtain a settlement. (I just received my third $100 check yesterday.) There is no charge for their service. |

The new Znti-Fax law - S.714 was signed july 2005 by G.W. Bush - overrides the TCPA and has effectively destroyed TCPA?s effectiveness. G. W. Bush signed this law to help real estate agents who want to spam fax their listings. It now seems that the fax spammers feel they have virtual freedom to do what they want because of this law that Bush signed becaue they can site ?opt-out options? and previous relationship clauses in the new S.714 july 2005 Bush law. Thank George W. Bush for you fax spam, because the FTC, the FCC and do not call list will not stop them like the OLD TCPA was doing. Has anyone sued a fax spammer since the 2005 fax spam law was signed? Have you been getting more fax xpam since JULY 2005 - EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FAX MACHINE? this law has ot be repealed, massive lawsuits initated, and people jailed before the fax spam will subside. goto blog http://www.olegdulin.com/index.php/archives/2004/02/27/fax-spam-discussions to see the latest comments about fax spam and what people are doing about it. |
