Call Center Compliance

Using technology to follow the key rules & regulations

TCPA regulations are dynamic and technology is always advancing. Keeping up with the latest tools to maintain compliance can be overwhelming, which is why we're here to help. Our trusted suite of cloud-based compliance solutions leverages the most comprehensive consumer contact information enabling call centers to quickly and easily adhere to the latest Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and Do Not Call (DNC) regulations. Schedule some time with us to learn more.

Our recommended Do Not Call solutions for call center compliance:

DNCScrub®

The TCPA restricts against calls to landline phone numbers that are on the National Do Not Call Registry. You must remove phone numbers listed on the National DNC list and individual state registries where applicable. Our flagship product, DNCScrub® enables companies to centralize DNC scrubs with Federal and State Lists and maximize contactable leads by applying relevant exemptions for DNC and TCPA compliance.

Litigator Scrub®

A significant amount of TCPA litigation is brought by a small group of lawyers and firms who specialize in it. According to a U.S. Chamber Institute of Legal Reform study, 60% of TCPA lawsuits over a 17-month period between 2015 and 2016 were brought by just 44 law firms or lawyers. These sorts of litigators are clever, adaptive, and highly skilled at slipping into lead generation programs unnoticed and building massive class-action lawsuits right under your nose. Our award-winning Litigator Scrub® identifies hidden litigators before you contact them.

Wireless ID℠

Under the TCPA, you may only use an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS) to call cell phones belonging to consumers who have given their express written consent and opted-in to your program. Individual states also have specific laws preventing calls to wireless numbers. As a result, identifying wireless phone numbers as distinct from landline numbers is a key element of any TCPA compliance strategy. Wireless ID℠ identifies numbers with a wireless prefix, numbers in wireless no call states, and phone numbers that had previously been assigned to landlines but have now been ported to wireless. Wireless numbers can be identified in real-time or in batch processing.

TrustCall®

“Spam Likely” alerts and the related call blocking features are recently developed elements of many caller ID systems. Of course, they can be a problem for legitimate telemarketers whose calls are being misidentified as spam. TrustCall® is a real-time monitoring and alerts dashboard that provides actionable intelligence to help you address unwanted “spam likely” caller ID call labeling and blocking issues. Proactively monitor the trust reputation of your outposted ANI numbers and get email notifications when it could directly impact your call deliverability.

Call Center Compliance FAQs

Is there a contact center compliance checklist I can use?
We have numerous guides and call center compliance checklists that apply to different aspects of compliance, helping you to manage risk depending on your specific needs. Click here for a full list.
What are the rules and requirements for text messaging from a call center?
As far as the courts and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are concerned, text messages are regulated exactly the same as voice calls. Therefore, all of your TCPA and DNC compliance call center procedures that you implement for voice calls should be applied to any text messaging campaigns.
Why is Call Center Compliance Important?
The costs of failing to maintain call center compliance can be significant. DNC violations carry penalties as high as $43,792 per call. TCPA violations carry penalties as high as $1,500 per call. And thanks to the TCPA’s private right of action, long statute of limitations, and uncapped statutory damages, class action settlements and verdicts routinely cost millions of dollars and can even reach as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. Beyond the monetary damages, failure to maintain compliance can cause irreparable brand damage.
How does DNC scrubbing help meet compliance requirements?
DNC scrubbing ensures that businesses meet legal requirements by preventing outbound calls to numbers on the DNC list. This is a key regulation for telemarketing activities. Scrubbing helps maintain compliance with industry standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance with regulatory agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
What role do contact center agents play in compliance?
Contact center agents are critical in ensuring compliance with telemarketing rules. They need regular compliance training and monitoring to follow compliance guidelines during customer interactions. Adhering to compliance policies helps reduce human error and ensure agents handle sensitive customer information responsibly, including credit card transactions.
How does Contact Center Compliance address security concerns?
We implement advanced security standards such as multi-factor authentication and encryption for credit card transactions. Our tools help maintain the privacy of individuals, protect customer data security, and mitigate compliance risks related to telemarketing calls. Continuous monitoring and regular audits are performed to prevent compliance failure.
What are the common compliance issues in contact center operations?
Common issues include failure to adhere to compliance regulations, insufficient training purposes, and lack of regular compliance monitoring. Issues like improper use of calling lists, non-compliance with the Do-Not-Call list, and outdated compliance guidelines can lead to fines and legal consequences.
How can businesses ensure compliance with regulatory standards?
Businesses must follow compliance regulations by integrating compliant call center software and implementing center compliance training. They should also perform regular audits, maintain clear internal policies, and use tools like DNCScrub® and Litigator Scrub® to avoid compliance violations.
Why is agent training essential for compliance?
Proper agent training ensures that telemarketing calls adhere to ethical standards and regulatory requirements. Continuous training helps agents understand and follow compliance tasks, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that all outbound calls comply with compliance parameters and legal regulations.
How does technology support compliance with telemarketing regulations?
Advanced tools such as predictive dialers, auto dialer software, and compliant call center software help telemarketing activities adhere to compliance with laws. Tools like TrustCall® Monitor and TCPA Reassigned ID℠ ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and prevent outbound contact centers from incurring penalties due to unsolicited calls or improper customer interactions.
Can your DNC solutions help my call center manage risk?
Yes. Building a solid DNC compliance framework is a key pillar in any risk management strategy for your call center.
How can I automate compliance in my call center?
Our RESTful API makes it easy to automate contact compliance on your preferred CRM for both inbound and outbound campaigns for optimal call center regulatory compliance.
How can call centers stay compliant with the most important regulations?
Call centers can stay compliant with the most important Federal and State regulations by completing routine compliance audits, using a comprehensive compliance scrubbing solution, and making use of other telemarketing compliance services.
