Litigator List
Litigator lists are commercial databases of phone numbers belonging to known TCPA plaintiffs — individuals who have filed TCPA lawsuits or are flagged as professional litigants — used by MCA dialers to suppress high-risk numbers before outreach.
Why This Matters
Litigator list scrubbing is standard TCPA-defense infrastructure for any large-scale MCA dialing operation. Commercial litigator lists (DNC.com, Blacklist Alliance, TCPA.com) aggregate phone numbers from court filings, plaintiff databases, and known professional-plaintiff sources. Scrubbing leads against litigator lists before dialing eliminates 0.5–2% of records but prevents the highest-risk litigation triggers. Subscription costs run $500–$5,000 monthly depending on dialing volume. Many MCA insurance policies require active litigator list scrubbing as a condition of TCPA coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is litigator list scrubbing?
Reduces but does not eliminate TCPA litigation risk. Litigator lists capture ~70% of professional plaintiffs and known litigators. The remaining 30% are first-time filers or numbers not yet captured in commercial databases. Layer with consent documentation and DNC scrubbing for defense-in-depth.
How often should I refresh litigator lists?
Daily refresh is standard for high-volume operations — new plaintiffs appear continuously, and stale lists miss recent additions. Most commercial litigator list providers offer real-time API integration with dialer platforms.
