Related question I’m hoping you know the answer to: can I use this as a recourse against debt collection calls or texts? I get numerous calls and texts for the prior owner of my cell phone number (to whom I have no relation to be clear) that have persisted for ~6 years despite repeatedly informing them I am not the individual they want to contact and asking to be removed from their records.

This is actually one of the most common TCPA claims out there these days.

They are sometimes referred to as “wrong number“ claims, or “reassigned number“ claims. You get a cell phone with a new number, and the old owner of that number was, for lack of a better word, a deadbeat. You spend the next 5 years being hounded by the previous owner’s collectors. This can potentially give rise to Claims under the TCPA
