Violating the TCPA can have serious financial consequences. You could face fines ranging from $500 to $1,500 per violation. Moreover, the TCPA comes with a four-year statute of limitations. This means that any presumed non-compliant call can be used against you in legal proceedings for up to four years after it was made. And that&#8217;s not all! The TCPA even allows for class actions, which means that a single call could lead to a massive class involving millions of consumers who received similar calls.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tLatest blog posts\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/activeprospect.com\/blog\/\"><b>Read more from our blog<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\t<p>Have questions?<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tChat with an expert today!\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/activeprospect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SDRseric-opheim-1.png\" alt=\"SDRseric-opheim-1\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"SDRseric-opheim-1\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protect Your Business with TCPA Compliance If you contact consumers on their mobile phone, you could be liable for $1,500.00 for every call or text.
