No I did Not Say That … You Got It Wrong!

This happens a lot. You have a conversation with another party and they agree to an action or a price for a job or some other matter. Later, they say that they never said what you say they said. It’s their word against yours. Some of these disagreements on what was said could cost you thousands of dollars, or more. The best agreements are proven with written and signed agreements. The federal law makes it unlawful to record telephone conversations except in one party consent cases which permit one party consent recording by state law. What that means is a person can record their own telephone conversations without the knowledge or consent of the other party in those states that allow one party consent. Twelve states require two-party permission to record a telephone call. There are 38 states that allow you to record your telephone conversation with another person. Of course, you can always record a telephone call with the other person’s consent.
