TCPA Federal
Every autodialed or prerecorded call to a registered number is a fixed-price violation the day it lands.
Every call placed illegally is a toll nobody collected. Tollman is the gate. It prices the violation, serves the demand, files when the demand is ignored, and enforces the judgment.
Thousands of companies are racing into the same water with the same models. Feature parity in weeks. Margin compression to zero. That is the red ocean.
The one market that grows as the ocean gets bloodier is the market for consequences. More agents means more calls, more scrapes, more violations, and the same number of regulators.
$500 to $3,000 per call under the TCPA. No liability theory to invent, no damages to prove up. Congress already wrote the invoice; almost nobody sends it.
We monetize the exhaust of the entire AI build-out. Every competitor in the red ocean expands our addressable market by operating.
Each vertical is a different statute with a different damage ceiling and the same pipeline underneath. Adding a seventh is a configuration change, not a rebuild.
Every autodialed or prerecorded call to a registered number is a fixed-price violation the day it lands.
Texas stacked a state penalty on top of the federal one. Same call, filed twice, two recoveries.
Collectors keep dialing after written cease. The statute pays per contact, and the contact log is the evidence.
Session-replay scripts and third-party chat widgets are wiretaps under California law. Most sites still run them.
Foreclosure and tax-sale overages sit in county accounts until somebody files the claim. Nobody files the claim.
Training sets stripped copyright management information at scale. Each work carries its own statutory ceiling.
Recovered figures are trailing per-case averages across resolved matters, net of filing and service costs.
A single call can violate § 227(b) and § 227(c) at the same time. The Sixth Circuit confirmed both provisions carry independent private rights of action enforceable in one suit. Federal exposure per call runs to $3,000, and there is no statutory cap on the total.
Judgment on 104 calls to a single plaintiff, upheld by the Fourth Circuit. Standing was never disturbed.
Claim brought on 2,368 calls in Nomorobo v. Synchrony Bank. Volume is what prices these cases.
Settlement paid by Keller Williams over telemarketing to registered numbers.
Settlement by a Coldwell Banker affiliate across 298,000 class members.
These are not projections. They are entered judgments and executed settlements in the same statute this platform files under. The only thing Tollman changes is how many of them can be brought at once, and at what cost.
One path from captured violation to cleared funds. No step waits on a person. The only variable between verticals is which statute prices the demand.
Nothing here is manufactured and nothing is provoked. Two numbers do the work: one that attracts the cold call, and one that is registered, published and left alone. The caller chooses to dial it.
Burner lines are listed on FSBO sites, Craigslist, Zillow, Facebook Marketplace, BiggerPockets and investor lead forms. Cold callers working those lists find them within days.
A caller who reaches a seed line hears a short greeting and receives an automatic text with a link to a personal contact page. No pitch, no offer, no invitation to call.
That page publishes one direct number and states plainly that it is registered on the National Do Not Call Registry. Every call or text to it lands with no consent ever given.
Publishing a phone number on a contact page is not consent to receive telemarketing. It is a directory listing. The obligation to scrub the registry sits with the caller, not with the person who owns the line, and it applies no matter where the number was found.
A real estate investor cold calling a property to make a purchase offer is making a telephone solicitation inside the statutory definition. No exemption covers it. Their failure to scrub is the violation, and our publication of the number gives them no consent defense.
Call recorded, number matched against DNC registration, caller ID resolved to a legal entity. Evidence package opens automatically.
Caller ID resolved through Secretary of State filings, property holdings pulled from ATTOM Data, litigation history checked on PACER. Every defendant carries a 0 to 100 collectibility score before a demand is ever sent, and only the top band is filed.
Statutory demand generated and served with a 14-day response window. Named defendants include the parent entity. Certified mail and email, both tracked.
Roughly six in ten resolve here. The rest advance without a human touching the file.
Court-specific complaint assembled, e-filed through the county portal, service dispatched through the ABC Legal API.
Answer deadline passes. The agent checks the docket daily and flags the matter the hour it ripens.
Judgment package submitted with proof of service, damages calculation, and statutory citation attached.
Abstract of judgment recorded through Simplifile. Bank levy, wage garnishment, and property lien run in sequence.
Funds land, the matter closes, and the entity, its assets, and its call pattern stay in the database permanently.
Cost basis covers e-filing fees, service of process via API, certified mail, docket monitoring, and compute. Recovery averages are trailing, net of court costs. Gross margin is stated as the $3,000 statutory ceiling over the $0.52 cost to bring one case.
This is the first question any partner asks, so here is the answer before it is asked. Six things stand between this machine and a copy of it, and none of them can be bought.
Violators scale at infinite speed. Traditional enforcement scales at human speed: one intake, one investigator, one filing at a time. We built the only system that closes the gap, processing 200 cases a month at the cost of running a single manual case.
Every agent, migration, filing template, court-specific complaint format, Simplifile integration and ABC Legal API connection was purpose-built over eighteen-plus months. None of it is off the shelf, and none of it is replicable from a standing start.
Every violation logged. Every entity researched. Every outcome recorded. The database of violators, their assets, their call patterns and their litigation history compounds with each case filed. Year three is materially more valuable than year one.
In March 2026 a federal court dismissed Nomorobo's TCPA honeypot case for lack of standing, because corporate honeypot numbers are not real consumer phones. Our numbers are real properties with real owners. That ruling validates our position while eliminating the imitators.
One call to one number can trigger four independent claims: § 227(b) at $1,500, § 227(c) at $1,500, Texas SB 140 at $5,000 and FDCPA at $1,000. Four counts, one filing, $9,000 of exposure. A human operator cannot economically assemble a four-count case for a single call. We assemble it for $0.52.
Playwright and Claude monitor every outcome around the clock: DNC registrations, court filings, lien recordings, live listings. When a portal changes or a submission fails, the agent retries and repairs itself. No human is paged. This alone took months to build.
The question is not why can’t everyone do this. It is why nobody has spent eighteen months doing it while the violation rate went up thirty-three times over.
So they are answered here, in the order they usually arrive, before anyone has to ask. Nothing below is a projection. Each answer rests on a decided case, a filed statute, or a number already in the database.
397 serial plaintiffs drove the majority of TCPA litigation in 2025. Courts know the pattern and they do not like it.
Courts already draw the line, and it falls in our favor. Stoops and Nomorobo turned on individuals who acquired phone numbers for the purpose of attracting calls. We are a property owner receiving genuine unsolicited calls at real residential properties we hold. The matters a district judge ever sees are the screened federal twenty percent, and those arrive on a bar number after review.
True in federal court, and the record is unkind. Andrew Perrong was sanctioned from the bench and ordered to write an apology letter.
That scrutiny is a federal court problem, and no federal case is ever filed without counsel. Small claims is a self represented forum by design: many states bar lawyers from appearing there at all, the record is a form and an exhibit set, and the docket runs on volume. The twenty percent that escalate carry a bar number, follow local rules, and arrive through the same channel as any other matter on the docket.
A contested case costs time the economics do not obviously support.
Collectibility scoring runs before anything is filed. Well capitalized defendants score warm or cold and receive a demand letter only. The hot band is small operators, and small operators default at rates between 70 and 85 percent. Where a case is contested it reaches counsel as a complete evidence package: call records, entity filings, asset search, service proof.
Statutory risk sits under the whole model.
The private right of action can only be removed by amendment, and Congress is moving the other way. PACRA was reintroduced on April 14, 2026 to extend do not call protection to businesses, lower the trigger from two calls to one, and reverse Facebook v. Duguid. State statutes sit outside federal reach entirely: Texas at $5,000, Connecticut at $20,000, Florida at $1,500. Six verticals means no single amendment ends the business.
Consent is the standard TCPA defense and it defeats most claims.
No consent was ever given. The contact page attached to each seed number is informational. It carries no form, no opt in, no checkbox, and no invitation to call. The burden of proving prior express written consent falls on the defendant, and there is nothing on the record for them to point to.
A do not call registry claim needs more than one contact within twelve months.
The entity database records every contact from every caller. The 227(c) count is only raised once a second contact from the same entity is confirmed on the record. Prerecorded voice and autodialer claims under 227(b) carry no such requirement and stand on a single call.
If a seventh objection exists, we want it on the table before the first case is filed, not after.
Read the partnership termsThree structures sit on top of the same pipeline. They are not mutually exclusive: the fund finances the case volume, the license monetizes the software, and the consumer product supplies the violations.
Raise against the case portfolio the way a litigation finance partner already underwrites mass claims.
License the autonomous enforcement pipeline to plaintiff firms that already want the volume and cannot staff it.
The consumer-facing version. Users opt in, we register their numbers, and every spam call their agent answers becomes a priced violation.
Eighty percent of the pipeline never touches a lawyer. Demand letters, small claims filings, default judgments, lien recording and enforcement all resolve autonomously. No counsel needed, no counsel involved.
The twenty percent that escalate to federal court are the only cases that ever land on a desk. The juice scorer ranks every violation on asset value, violation profile and default probability, and only the top band moves up. They arrive complete: evidence authenticated, entity researched, assets verified, complaint drafted, exhibits attached. Review, sign, file. Default at twenty one days, judgment at forty five, split the recovery.
So the proposition is not “help us file everything.” It is “screen a thousand violations down to the twenty worth federal court, deliver them pre-built, and handle everything else.”
The machine does the work. Counsel gets the cases worth their time.
The FDCPA mandates fee shifting to a prevailing plaintiff. The Texas DTPA provides it, CIPA allows fee recovery, and the TCPA leaves it to the court. On contested matters that reach judgment, attorney fees become a second revenue line sitting on top of statutory damages and the contingency.
Structure is whatever clears your bar: formal referral agreement or co counsel.
