THE BLACKLIST ALLIANCE

The Blacklist Alliance helps marketers, call centers, and other organizations that use an automated telephone dialing system (ATDS) to avoid and defend against abusive Telephone Consumer Protection Act litigation. Over the decades since its enactment, the TCPA has morphed from a well-intentioned consumer protection statute into a virtual litigation industry. Any company that uses an ATDS now faces TCPA liability, and thousands of attorneys and ordinary consumers have taken advantage of the law.... As a result, TCPA litigation has increased by a staggering 1,273% since 2010, and class action attorneys have made millions from suing large corporations for minor technical violations that cause no actual harm. And contrary to the headlines, large companies are far from the only victims. Over 95% of the thousands of TCPA lawsuits filed every year are aimed at small to medium sized businesses, many of which cannot afford the ruinous costs of defending against them. Faced with imminent closure, these companies have no choice but to pay outrageous settlements, or to shut their doors.More
