There is an average of 250,000 monthly complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FCA) about Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) violations. Between 2010 and 2015, TCPA lawsuits increased from 354 to 3,710, and between 2014 and 2015, there was a 45% increase. These changing numbers are partly due to the public being more aware of the TCPA and violations. The more violations there are, the more lawsuits and settlements there are.
