How to Seek Damages for Spam Calls & Texts

Understand the process before you act.

Some unwanted calls and texts may support a claim, but the details matter. The difficult part is turning scattered calls, messages, recordings, consent history, and caller information into a clear, documented record. CallSlayer automates much of that work—from capturing and organizing evidence to preparing a demand for your review.

The difficult part, handled

CallSlayer automates the difficult evidence work

  1. Capture every call automatically

    Preserve the date, time, displayed number, voicemail, recording where lawful, transcript, message, and statements identifying the caller or seller. A complete timeline is harder to dismiss than a screenshot or memory.

  2. Document consent—and the lack of it

    Organize opt-ins, account records, stop requests, prior relationships, and Do Not Call registration facts. This closes the easy escape routes before the company responds.

  3. Identify who is actually responsible

    Caller ID can be spoofed, and the dialing company may be different from the seller benefiting from the call. Connect the number, recording, transfer, offer, website, and business identity into one documented chain.

  4. Match the evidence to the rules

    Prerecorded voice calls, artificial voice calls, repeat solicitations, Do Not Call violations, and calls after a stop request can involve different requirements. CallSlayer organizes the facts needed to see which rules may apply.

  5. Calculate and document the demand

    List each qualifying call, the supporting evidence, the applicable statutory amount, and the total requested resolution. Make it simple for the recipient to verify the record and understand the exposure.

  6. Send a claim designed to get a response

    A specific, evidence-backed demand creates settlement leverage. CallSlayer packages the timeline, caller intelligence, documentation, and claim calculation so the company receives a clear path to resolve the matter.

What the federal statute says

$500 per violation—and potentially up to $1,500

For qualifying violations covered by the applicable private right of action, 47 U.S.C. § 227 provides for actual monetary loss or $500 per violation, whichever is greater. A knowing or willful violation can support an increase to as much as three times that amount. CallSlayer identifies and organizes facts relevant to that question—such as repeated calls, stop requests, consent history, recordings, and messages—so they can be presented in a documented claim.
