National Do Not Call List For Telemarketers

The National Do Not Call Registry allows consumers the choice to limit the number of telemarketing calls they receive. Millions of people have already added their names to the registry as a way to avoid receiving telemarketing calls and faxes altogether.

Customers are able to remove their names from marketing lists by registering their phone numbers online at the Federal Trade Commission's National Do Not Call Registry or by calling a specially designated number at the FTC.

Once a number has been registered, telemarketers have up to 31 days from the date of registration to remove the customer's phone number from their list. The National Do Not Call Registry is managed and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission' in conjunction with various governmental entities. Telemarketing firms that do not abide by the do not call list and contact registered customers can receive steep financial penalties.

According to the FTC's website (www.ftc.gov), "A company with which a consumer has an established business relationship may call for up to 18 months after the consumer’s last purchase or last delivery, or last payment, unless the consumer asks the company not to call again. In that case, the company must honor the request not to call. If the company calls again, it may be subject to a fine of up to $11,000."
