Introducing Litigator Checks Add-On for Phone Validation and Real Contact APIs
As businesses increasingly rely on identity data APIs for outbound dialing and lead verification, avoiding interactions with serial litigators is important to minimize risk to businesses. To address this critical need, we introduced litigator checks as an add-on to our Real Contact API and Phone Validation API. This feature is designed to help businesses identify and avoid potential serial litigators, safeguarding them against costly and time-consuming litigation.
What Are Litigator Checks?
Litigator checks flag phone numbers associated with litigation related to consumer regulations, such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). This includes both plaintiffs and attorneys involved in such cases. By identifying these numbers, businesses can reduce the risk of contacting serial litigators and avoid unnecessary legal costs and resource drain.
While TCPA is the most prominent regulation in outbound dialing, our litigator checks extend coverage to other consumer protection litigators, including:
- Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB)
- Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
- Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
Although these cases are less common, filtering out these numbers provides businesses with an additional layer of protection and compliance assurance.
How Is This Data Sourced?
Litigator check data is sourced from trusted aggregators who meticulously monitor litigation filings across federal and state courts and is updated daily to ensure accuracy and comprehensiveness. These aggregators:
- Analyze litigation records.
- Categorize relevant cases.
- Extract and standardize details about plaintiffs and attorneys.
