sparrI'm planning to bring a civil action against a company that won't stop robocalling my cell phone. 3-5 calls a day, most leading to a recording. The statutory damages are $500 per infraction, times three if they are willful. A few days of calls provides enough infractions to hit the $15000 claim ceiling*.
I need two things to help me in this endeavor.
1) A loaner phone that is capable of recording calls. I am on T-mobile and can swap my SIM over.
2) Advice on dealing with the filing process. How do I find out exactly who (company/person) to name as the defendant(s)? Is there a best day or time to visit the courthouse? Are there any 'tricks' I should know about to make the process smoother?
* - Should I claim $500 per call for 30 calls, or $1500 per call for 10 calls?
