An article written in April of 2023, TCPA Violations Lead to $40 Million Settlement for Real Estate Company discusses a significant class-action settlement over claims that a privately held major real estate company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). A Florida Court preliminarily approved a $40 million penalty on a company for making unsolicited pre-recorded calls to consumers without their consent, including calls to consumers registered on the National Do Not Call Registry (DNC). This settlement underscores the FCC’s commitment to enforcing TCPA regulations and protecting consumers from unwanted communication and fraudulent practices. The substantial penalty serves as a warning to businesses engaging in similar illegal activities, emphasizing the importance of compliance with TCPA guidelines to avoid severe financial repercussions.
