Sounds like good stuff for ongoing report in blog posts...
<br>
I wonder if they even answer you without the court order.

You do not call for them to answer. You call so you can show the court
that you did everything you could to collect the money without going to
court, so you can ask the court for הוצאות משפט. Since you know that
the chances they will even talk to you out of court is negligible, you
want to hit them as hard as you can. If you can add 1000 sheqels of
costs to the 1000 sheqels of damages, there is a greater chance of
receiving those if you showed you did everything you could to not spend
the time and money of going to court in the first place.<br>
<br>
Your final court approach should be something like:<br>
1000 sheqels - statutory damages for sending spam<br>
70 sheqels - claims fee (the money you pay to post the claim - I'm not
sure how much it is)<br>
X sheqels - trial cost (how many hours you spent on the suite with a
REASONABLE padding times an hourly income you can reasonably be said to
be worth)<br>
<br>
In X, count the time you spent calling them, the time you spent
researching the matter and the time you are estimated to spend in
court. Add a reasonable padding. Don't make this particular article too
big, or you risk your entire case.<br>
<br>
And, in case there is any doubt, I am not a lawyer. This is not legal
advice. Anyone taking any legal action based solely on advice given in
a public forum is barking mad. Do your own research, consult a lawyer,
whatever.<br>
