DOWN AGAIN!!: Robocalls Have Dropped YoY for ELEVEN CONSECUTIVE MONTHS As R.E.A.C.H. Issues New Standards

2 Comments

Unbelievable success.

There is no other way to describe it.

Since R.E.A.C.H. published its first set of standards in September, 2023 this nation has been on a steady robocall decline.

And August, 2024 marked the ELEVENTH MONTH IN A ROW that robocalls were down year over year.

In August, 2024 Americans received 4,457,439,900 robocalls compared to August, 2023 when they received 5,077,575,700–meaning robocalls dropped OVER 500,000 IN ONE MONTH@!

To date Americans have received nearly THREE BILLION LESS ROBOCALLS in 2024 compared to the same timeframes as 2023.

No wonder media outlets across the country are carrying stories about R.E.A.C.H.’s impact on the robocall reduction and the importance of its new standards!

Amazing to be effectuating such change!!

Real shame NOBODY is talking about this but us. Then again, we’re the ones pulling it off so…

Published by Eric "Czar" Troutman

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.

  1. But .. you promised that REACH would reduce robocalls by over 1 Billion per month; which has not been accomplished. Nonetheless, please keep trying!

    1. Maybe it’s due to the lack of the “Advisory Board for Consumer Advocates” first mentioned back on 11/16/22?

      “Membership in R.E.A.C.H. will send a strong message to consumers, regulators and Plaintiff’s lawyers—***many of whom will sit on a R.E.A.C.H. advisory board for consumer advocates***—that the member  company takes consumer privacy seriously and is committed to stopping unwanted calls.” **Asterisks added
