Telemarketers are a part of daily life. There are jobs in collections, outbound lead generation, and cold calling. At some point, someone who works in one of these positions will contact you by phone. The issue for many people is how far a telemarketer goes with their calls. You may be experiencing issues that you believe to be harassment. If this is your situation, you should know what qualifies as harassment and what a telemarketer harassment lawyer can do to help you. 

Timeframe of Calls 

One of the key points a lawyer will look at is the timeframe of the calls. You may have calls that happen before a certain time in the morning or after a certain time at night. There are specific times that are considered no-call hours, depending on your state. If you are receiving calls during these no-call hours, it can be considered telemarketer abuse. If the calls are coming from the same company on a daily basis or several times a day, you will need to show proof of the calls and the time. This is usually located in your phone log on your cellular phone. 

Number of Calls

An act of telemarketer abuse may be in the number of calls you are receiving a day. If you are receiving multiple calls a day, this can disturb your daily life. If you work from home, these multiple calls could potentially cost you your job. If you are dealing with a sick family member or disabled family member, the calls can disturb them as well. This is considered harassment. You can prove the number of calls and company name using the logs your cellular phone keeps. 

Do Not Call List Violations

You may be receiving calls for various sales pitches, cold calling, or other related call topics. If you are registered on the do not call list and you are still receiving ongoing telemarketer calls from specific companies, you may be experiencing telemarketer abuse. Your call logs as well as proof of signing up for the do not call list can be presented to the lawyer. 

If you believe you are experiencing telemarketer abuse, contact your lawyer. They can look at your proof of calls and take your statement on the abuse you believe you have received. They will then discuss your options with you and help you move forward with your complaint if you decide to sue the telemarketer or company.
