Comment I sue telemarketers, Here is my standard complaint (Score 1) 329

Hello /. people,
I sue telemarketers regularly. I live in Washington, DC and sue in the DC small claims court. It only costs $15 to file, and thus far I have collected $600 this year.


Here is the language I put in my standard complaint against someone who has sent an unsolicited commercial fax message:



On March 15, 2002, the Defendant sent an unsolicited commercial facsimile message to Plaintiff's home telephone number in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (47 U.S.C. 227 (b)(1)(C)). Additionally, the fax message did not include accurate date, time, and sending telephone number information in the margin of the message in violation of 47 U.S.C. 227 (d)(1)(B). Plaintiff has no prior business relationship with defendant, and has not consented to such communications. The TCPA affords Plaintiff a private right of action in State court pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 227 (b)(3). The Superior Court of the District of Columbia (Civil Division-Small Claims and Conciliation Branch) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to D.C. 11-921 and D.C. 11-1321. Defendant is engaged in willing or knowing violations of the TCPA, and Plaintiff requests minimum liquidated damages of $500 and treble damages pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 227 (b)(3)(C).
