Two laws protect West Virginia residents

A federal law covers everyone — and West Virginia’s own rules can add to it.

Federal law

The TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.

  • Protects everyone in West Virginia, no matter the state rules.
  • Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
  • $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
  • You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
West Virginia law

West Virginia Telemarketing Act, W. Va. Code § 46A-6F-101 et seq.

How West Virginia adds to your protection.

  • Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time.
  • Do Not Call: Uses the national registry.
  • Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.

How the law works in West Virginia

If illegal robocalls keep targeting your phone in West Virginia, federal law gives you real leverage. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal statute that limits autodialed calls, prerecorded “robo” voice messages, and unwanted telemarketing texts. When a company breaks the rules, you can recover $500 per call or text, and up to $1,500 per call for willful or knowing violations. Because those amounts apply to each illegal call, the damages stack quickly. An ongoing robocall campaign can be worth thousands of dollars.

West Virginia also has its own law, the West Virginia Telemarketing Act (W. Va. Code § 46A-6F-101 et seq.), part of the state’s Consumer Credit and Protection Act. Under this law, telemarketers may not solicit your residence outside the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time, must register with the Secretary of State, and must identify themselves and the purpose of the call. West Virginia does not run a separate state do-not-call list. Telemarketers must honor the federal National Do Not Call Registry and keep their own internal do-not-call lists. Registering once at donotcall.gov protects you here.

West Virginia robocall FAQs

Can I sue for robocalls in West Virginia?

Yes. The federal TCPA lets West Virginia consumers sue over illegal robocalls, prerecorded messages, and unwanted telemarketing texts, recovering $500 per violation, up to $1,500 per call for willful conduct. The West Virginia Telemarketing Act adds additional state-level protections.

Does West Virginia have its own robocall law?

Yes. The West Virginia Telemarketing Act (W. Va. Code § 46A-6F-101 et seq.) regulates telemarketing to state residents, including calling-hour limits, telemarketer registration with the Secretary of State, and caller identification rules. It works alongside the federal TCPA, so you may have claims under both.

What are West Virginia’s calling hours?

Under the West Virginia Telemarketing Act, telemarketers may not call your residence outside the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time. A solicitation call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. may violate both West Virginia law and the federal TCPA.

Do I need a West Virginia lawyer for a robocall case?

Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law that applies nationwide, so attorney Max Morgan, Esq., licensed in Pennsylvania, can handle robocall claims for West Virginia residents and brings in local counsel wherever a court requires it. Your review is free, and you pay nothing unless he recovers money for you.
