How to Write a Robocall Demand Letter: Get Paid with a Simple Letter

A well-written demand letter can settle a robocall case in weeks instead of months.

Most TCPA cases never see a courtroom. Why? Because companies know they're guilty and settlements are cheaper than trials.

A demand letter is your opening move. It says: "I have evidence. I know my rights. Pay me or face court."

Properly written demand letters often result in settlement offers. Let me show you how to write an effective one...

What Is a Demand Letter?

A demand letter is a formal written notice that:

• • Explains the illegal conduct
• • Presents your evidence
• • Calculates damages owed
• • Demands specific settlement amount
• • Threatens lawsuit if they don't pay

Why It Works: Companies do a cost-benefit analysis. Fighting your claim costs more than settling it.

RE: Demand for Settlement of TCPA Violations

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to demand settlement for numerous violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, committed by your company.

FACTS

Between [Start Date] and [End Date], your company called my cell phone [Number of Calls] times using an automated telephone dialing system and/or pre-recorded messages. These calls occurred on the following dates and times:

• • [Date 1] at [Time 1]
• • [Date 2] at [Time 2]
• • [Continue listing all documented calls]

My cell phone number [Your Number] has been registered on the National Do Not Call Registry since [Registration Date]. I never provided written consent to receive automated calls or text messages from your company. [If applicable: On [Date], I explicitly requested that your company stop calling me, yet the calls continued.]

LEGAL VIOLATIONS

Your company's conduct violates multiple provisions of the TCPA:

• 1. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(A)(iii) - making calls using an automatic telephone dialing system to a cell phone without prior express consent
• 2. 47 U.S.C. § 227(c) - calling a number registered on the National Do Not Call Registry
• 3. [Add any other applicable violations]

DAMAGES

The TCPA provides for statutory damages per violation, with enhanced damages available for willful violations. Given [Number of Calls] violations, the maximum damages available under law are:

[Number of Calls] × [Statutory Amount] = $[Total Max Damages]

SETTLEMENT DEMAND

To resolve this matter without litigation, I am willing to accept a settlement payment of $[Settlement Amount] (representing approximately [Percentage]% of maximum damages). This offer is contingent upon:

• 1. Payment of the full settlement amount within 30 days of this letter
• 2. Immediate cessation of all calls to my number
• 3. Written confirmation that my number has been added to your company's internal Do Not Call list

ALTERNATIVE: LITIGATION

If I do not receive a satisfactory settlement offer within 30 days, I will file a lawsuit in [Federal District Court / State Court] seeking:

• • Maximum statutory damages available under law
• • Attorney's fees and costs
• • Injunctive relief

Additionally, any calls made after the date of this letter will be considered evidence of continued willful violations and will increase the damages sought.

Please direct all correspondence regarding this matter to my attention at the address and phone number listed above.

I expect a response within 30 days of the date of this letter.

Sincerely,

[Your Signature]
[Your Printed Name]

Tips for Writing an Effective Demand Letter

Tip #1: Be Professional, Not Emotional

Avoid: "You idiots called me 50 times and ruined my life!"
Use: "Your company called my cell phone 50 times in violation of the TCPA."

Tip #2: Be Specific with Evidence

Don't say: "You called me lots of times."
Say: "You called me on the following 47 occasions: [list dates and times]."

Tip #3: Demand a Reasonable Amount

Demanding 100% of max damages seems greedy. 60-70% shows you're reasonable but serious.

Tip #4: Set a Real Deadline

30 days is standard. Too short seems rushed. Too long seems you're not serious.

Tip #5: Send It Properly

• • Certified mail with return receipt
• • Keep proof of mailing
• • Send to company's legal department
• • Consider sending to registered agent too

What Happens After You Send Your Demand Letter?

Scenario 1: They Ignore It (10% of cases)

Some companies ignore demand letters. If 30 days pass with no response, file your lawsuit. Their silence strengthens your case.

Scenario 2: They Low-Ball You (40% of cases)

They offer 30-40% of what you demanded. This is expected. Counter at 75-80%. Negotiate to 60-70%.

Scenario 3: They Settle Quickly (45% of cases)

They know they're guilty and want it to go away. They accept your demand or come very close.

Scenario 4: They Threaten to Fight (5% of cases)

Rare. Usually bluffing. If they actually fight, they usually lose and owe MORE (including your legal fees).

Demand Letter Outcomes

Quick Response Cases:

Some companies respond quickly to well-documented demand letters, often within days of receipt. These cases typically resolve through negotiation without court proceedings.

Negotiated Settlements:

Many cases involve back-and-forth negotiation between the parties. Initial offers may be lower than demanded, but negotiation often leads to mutually acceptable resolutions.

Ignored Demands:

When companies ignore demand letters, legal action may proceed to court. Courts may award full statutory damages plus attorney fees when violations are proven.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Demanding Too Much

Asking for 100% of max damages makes you look unreasonable. 60-70% is the sweet spot.

Mistake #2: Too Much Emotion

Save the anger for your friends. Demand letters should be calm, factual, professional.

Mistake #3: Weak Evidence

"I think they called me about 20 times" won't work. "They called me on these 23 documented occasions with proof" will.

Mistake #4: Wrong Company

Make sure you're sending it to the RIGHT company. Spoofed numbers complicate this - that's where DNCme's tracing helps.

Mistake #5: No Follow-Through

If they ignore your letter and you do nothing, you've shown you're all bark and no bite. Be ready to file if needed.
