Florida consistently ranks among the top states for illegal robocall complaints — and if you're a Florida resident, the law is firmly on your side. You can sue robocallers under both federal and Florida state law and collect up to $5,000 per illegal call without an attorney.
What Laws Protect Florida Residents?
- The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) — Federal law prohibiting unsolicited robocalls and auto-dialed calls to your cell phone. Violations carry $500–$1,500 per call.
- The Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (FTSA) — One of the strongest state telemarketing laws in the country. Florida's law covers calls AND text messages, and allows $500 per violation — stackable with TCPA claims.
Who Can You Sue?
- Companies that called your cell phone with an auto-dialer without written consent
- Callers who left pre-recorded messages without permission
- Anyone who called your number on the Do Not Call Registry
- Callers who ignored your opt-out requests
How to File a Claim in Florida
- Log every illegal call — date, time, caller ID, and recording if possible
- Send a written cease and demand letter
- File in Florida Small Claims Court (up to $8,000) or County Court
- Serve the defendant and present your evidence
