Abstract
Description
South Carolina consumers have several options available to them when seeking relief from telemarketers. They can: Seek monetary relief under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991; File a complaint with the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs that could result in the telemarketer being assessed penalties or fines; or possibly imprisoned; “Opt out” of receiving direct mail marketing or telemarketing calls by registering with the Direct Marketing Association; or “Opt out” of receiving postal, telemarketing and electronic credit offers.
