FDCPA Violation · Illinois

Is a debt collector robocalling your cell phone without consent in Illinois?

Force them to stop instantly — and build your case for $1,000+ in statutory damages.

Under federal law, this exact tactic is a violation of 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA) + 15 U.S.C. § 1692d(5). TCPA stacks per-call damages on top of FDCPA — robocalls can compound to thousands of dollars in liability for a single week of harassment. Use our engine to generate an ironclad Federal Cease & Desist and Debt Validation notice in under 60 seconds.

Your rights in Illinois

Collection agencies rely on fear and intimidation. Here is the exact consumer rights you hold over them right now.

Federal protection — 47 U.S.C. § 227 (TCPA) + 15 U.S.C. § 1692d(5)

Robocalls to your cell phone without prior express consent violate the TCPA, and repeated dialing to annoy or harass also violates the FDCPA.

Illinois adds: Illinois Collection Agency Act, 225 ILCS 425

Punitive damages plus Illinois Consumer Fraud Act penalties. State remedies stack on top of federal FDCPA damages.

The $1,000 penalty box

$500 per TCPA violation (up to $1,500 if willful) PLUS $1,000 FDCPA statutory damages. A 30-call month routinely exceeds $15,000 in claims.

Evidence to lock in your case

Save voicemails (prerecorded messages are TCPA gold) and screenshot your call log showing the volume and frequency of calls.

Crucial rule: Once you send an official written Cease & Desist notice, the collector is legally banned from contacting you again — except to confirm they are stopping or to take you to court. If they call you one more time after receiving this letter, you have an open-and-shut lawsuit.
