But here s a statistic DoNotPay users save an average of $450 in cold, hard cash per year. Sue robocallers, cancel free trials and never have to deal with customer service again.

On December 4, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit issued a ruling in
Lucoff v. Navient Solutions, LLC, et al., holding Lucoff’s oral revocation of consent to be contacted under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) followed by re-consenting to be contacted minutes later via an online form was valid consent under the TCPA.
Lucoff was part of a class action against Navient Solutions, LLC (“Navient”) and its affiliate Student Assistance Corporations (“SAC”) in 2010. As part of the settlement, class members who failed to submit a revocation request form were deemed to have provided prior express consent to receiving Navient and its affiliates’ calls. While Lucoff did not dispute receiving the e-mail containing this information, he testified he did not actually remember receiving the e-mail or reading it.
