keep getting faxes from a mortgage broker. Calling the 866 # doesn't stop it in 24 hrs as promised.?

Answer 1

From the Federal Communications Commission website:
http://ftp.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.html

The National Do-Not-Call Registry applies only to telephone solicitations, not to faxes. Nevertheless, the FCC’s fax rules prohibit fax advertisements unless the sender has an established business relationship (EBR) with you or your permission to send the fax.

How the FCC Can Help

The FCC has taken numerous enforcement actions, including the issuance of citations and fines, against companies for violations and suspected violations of the TCPA’s prohibition against unsolicited faxes. If you have received an unsolicited fax, or received a fax from someone who does not have a business relationship with you or who has not received your prior express permission, you may file a complaint with the FCC. You are encouraged to provide documentation in support of your complaint, such as copies of the fax(es) you received.

You may file your complaint by completing the FCC’s on-line Consumer Complaint Form at: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html, or by calling the FCC’s Consumer Center at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY, or by mail sent to:

Federal Communications Commission
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554.

Your complaint should include:

your name, address, and a telephone number where you can be reached during the day;

the telephone number through which you received the fax advertisement;

the property, goods, or services that are advertised on the fax; the name of the business offering such property, goods or services, if included in the fax; and any telephone number or addresses included in the fax;

a copy of the fax advertisement, if possible, or confirmation that you have retained a copy of the fax; and

as much specific information as possible, including whether you ever gave the advertiser permission to send faxes or ever did business or had any other contacts with the sender.

Although the FCC does not resolve individual complaints of this type, and cannot award monetary or other damages to consumers, these complaints help us to investigate broader rule violations. Like other government agencies, the Commission takes action to protect the public at large. Your complaint will be most useful to us in considering enforcement action if you send us a copy of each fax about which you wish to complain and complete a separate complaint form for each such fax. Providing incomplete information or not sending in a copy of the fax itself will make it difficult for us to consider your complaint for enforcement purposes.

Answer 2

Write a message on the fax sheet regarding this and then fax it to them about 200 times. That should get their attention.

Find a lawyer in your area who is willing to file suit against the mortgage broker under th TCPA.
