They won't stop calling, but the court won't just take your word that you identified who is calling you and how many times they called....

We post quite a few articles about the TCPA, FDCPA, and other consumer-based legal issues. Clients have been telling us that some basic information about bankruptcy would be helpful. Here’s a brief rundown of some common questions clients often have. Keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list, nor is it custom-tailored to a consumer’s specific needs. However, it does answer some of the main questions our clients usually have about bankruptcy. Will I Have to Wear a Scarlet B

Something positive about bad situations like the TCPA plaintiff Chet Wilson explosion is things come to light that are otherwise hidden. Freeway Insurance Services is trying to bury Mr. Wilson so they are putting things in writing that can educate the rest of us. I am just going to quote from Mr. Barboza's declaration so we can learn now telemarketing really works. Mr. Barboza is the "Head of Digital Transformation" at Confie Holding II Co, the parent company of Freeway Insur

Sadly I have to write another of my "don't be like" blog posts. Another TCPA plaintiff got exploded. Not for fruad, thank goodness, but for character. If you are going to come to court you have to be presentable and my god this is ugly. The case is Wilson v Freeway Insurance Services of America. Our friend Eric Troutman already broke the story (https://tcpaworld.com/2026/05/20/chet-wilson-a-vile-racist-new-filing-suggests-serial-tcpa-filer-with-trap-phone-number-is-also-a-rem

This blog is here in large part to help pro-se plaintiffs bring better cases so this is an unsolicited review of federal lawsuit Ortega v. Freedom Solar Servs., No. SA-24-CV-00662-FB, 2026 LX 233585 (W.D. Tex. May 15, 2026) which just got dismissed under FRCP 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. I pulled the complaint and this post is not to criticize Mr. Ortega, but to help everyone learn so they can come back better. I will quote the "facts" section of the complaint and g

Here is a pattern we see again and again - consumer gets unwanted calls. Consumer sues telemarketer. Telemarketer claims someone went online and asked for calls. Ok they don't claim someone did it, they claim the consumer did it, and they want to compel the case to arbitration. Such is the case in Lowell v. Angi Inc., No. C25-1702-KKE, 2026 LX 273019 (W.D. Wash. May 13, 2026) where Mr. Lowell received allegedly unwanted text messages from Angi Inc. Lowell alleges that, betwee

If you have ever listed a house for sale by owner, or had a house listing lapse, or just get confused for someone who is thinking about selling your house, this story is going to resonate with you. In 2024 Ms. Soale attempted to sell her house but apparently failed. What she did succeed at is attracting the attention of the Joshua Jackson Realty Group of eXp Realty. Ms. Soale sued big eXp, and eXp moved to dismiss under the argument that little Joshua Jackson Realty Group was

Telemarketers have a list of judicial priorities: Filing a TCPA lawsuit is itself evidence of fraud The TCPA plaintiff has to prove he/she didn't ask for the calls The recipients of unwanted calls have the obligation to make them stop Telemarketers can use leads with impunity so long as they don't have actual knowledge the lead is fraudulent. Get rid of express written consent. And not the least among them is just visiting a webpage is consenting to their terms of service. Ev

This is another article in our long running series on how telemarketing really works. In researching a telemarketing organization using websites gochecks.org / checkgo.org / lendlii.org (plus many others) I found an interesting 2022 lawsuit CHAMPION et al v. DOES out of the District of Columbia with case # 1:22-cv-02697-CKK. Written by LawHQ, it was very educational and I posted it below. But first, many, many consumers are being harassed by a telemarketer using a collection
