 FCC  PROPOSES  $770,000  FORFEITURE  AGAINST  DYNASTY  MORTGAGE,  L.  L.  C.  FOR  APPARENT  VIOLATION  OF  NATIONAL  DO-  NOT-  CALL  RULES 
 Washington,  D.  C.:  The  Federal  Communications  Commission  today  proposed  a  forfeiture  of  $770,000  against  Dynasty  Mortgage,  L.  L.  C.  of  Phoenix,  Arizona  for  apparently  making 
 telemarketing  calls  to  residential  consumers  in  violation  of  the  Commission’s  National  Do-  Not-Call  rules.  This  action,  the  Commission’s  first  proposed  forfeiture  in  the  area,  follows  16 
 citations  against  non-  common  carriers  and  two  consent  decrees  involving  common  carriers. 
 The  Commission  found  that  Dynasty  apparently  initiated  telephone  solicitations  to  consumers  who  registered  their  numbers  on  the  National  Do-  Not-  Call  Registry.  The  Commission  proposed 
 the  maximum  forfeiture  of  $11,000  for  each  of  70  violations  because  the  company  apparently  continued  to  make  telemarketing  calls  after  receiving  an  FCC  citation  warning  it  of  potential 
 penalties  if  it  continued  violating  the  Do-  Not-  Call  rules.  Further,  the  company  apparently  misinformed  consumers  that  it  was  exempt  from  these  Commission  rules. 


 By  the  Commission:  Chairman  Powell,  Commissioners  Abernathy,  Copps,  Martin  and  Adelstein,  FCC  05-  47,  February  28,  2005.
