Abstract

Disclosed is a communication system that is adapted to notify a calling party that no further call attempts should be made and to automatically register a complaint with a calling party complaint registration database. The calling party complaint database is further adapted to notify an enforcement authority of repeated violations by a calling party. The called party communication terminal is adapted to automatically block subsequent call or communication attempts from a repeat offending calling party while simultaneously sending an additional complaint registration to the calling party complaint registration database.
