How is this different from the FDCPA + TCPA cease-and-desist letter?

The cease-and-desist at /debt/cease-and-desist combines FDCPA § 1692c(c) (debt-collector cease) with TCPA consent revocation. Use that letter when the caller is a debt collector. Use THIS letter for any other autodialer / prerecorded / DNC violator: extended-warranty robocallers, marketing autodialers, political SMS, etc. The TCPA elements are the same; the FDCPA elements are not asserted because they do not apply.

Does written revocation always work?

Almost always. The Reyes v. Lincoln Auto Finance case (2d Cir. 2017) limits revocation when consent is part of a bargained-for contract — but most autodialer marketing consent is not bargained-for and is freely revocable per Gager v. Dell Fin. Servs. (3d Cir. 2013) and Osorio v. State Farm (11th Cir. 2014). The FCC has reaffirmed the broad-revocation rule multiple times.

What if the caller responds claiming I cannot revoke?

They have to identify the contract and clause they rely on. If they cite a real contractual consent clause, that may limit the revocation under Reyes. If they cannot, the post-receipt calls are willful per Gager and you stack damages at the $1,500 rate.

Should I also revoke email and SMS marketing?

Yes — the wizard offers checkboxes for both. Email marketing consent is governed by CAN-SPAM (different statute) but a single-letter revocation is the cleanest paper trail. SMS marketing is a TCPA matter when sent via automated technology.

What do I do after sending the letter?

Open the contemporaneous call-log wizard at /debt/tcpa-call-log and log every call from the date of receipt forward. Every entry is willful at $1,500. After 30+ logged calls, the pre-suit demand letter at /debt/tcpa-demand is the natural escalation.

This is a pure TCPA revocation — distinct from the combined FDCPA + TCPA cease-and-desist at /debt/cease-and-desist. Use this letter when the caller is not a debt collector under the FDCPA (e.g., extended-warranty robocaller, political SMS, marketing autodialer).

The TCPA stack

SynthCounsel ships four free wizards covering the full TCPA litigation path. Use them in order:

Revoke consent (this wizard) — establishes that every subsequent call is unconsented.
Log every call — declaration-grade contemporaneous record with willful-rate flags.
Pre-suit demand — settlement offer with itemized damages.
Federal complaint — U.S. District Court if they don\'t settle.

Pro tip

List your number on the National Do Not Call Registry first (donotcall.gov, free). DNC listing converts a § 227(b) cell-only claim into a stacked § 227(b) + § 227(c) claim with separate per-call damages. The wizard’s “both” option captures both statutes.
