Debt relief companies that sell by phone are not allowed to charge fees before they actually settle or reduce your debt. Unsolicited robocalls offering to lower your credit card interest rate are a common scam: never give a card number or Social Security number to an unexpected caller.

Your rights under the TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) lets consumers sue over certain prerecorded or autodialed calls made without consent, for $500 per violation, and courts may increase damages up to three times when the violation was willful or knowing.

For telemarketing calls to a number on the National Do Not Call Registry, a private claim generally requires more than one call within 12 months from the same company. Keep a record of dates, times and any company name the caller gave.
