Is there any way to stop the annoying computer (auto dialed) calls to your cell phone? Yes — sue under the TCPA for damages of $500 or $1500 per call even if you can’t prove any actual damages — these are called “statutory damages”.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a powerful federal law that bans the auto dialed (computer dialed) calls to your cell phone unless you gave express permission to the creditor or the debt collector to call you on your cell phone.

Credit card companies and collection agencies hate this law because these companies, as a practical matter, never manually dial calls anymore. It is too inefficient.
