Small claims. Up to $10k in most jurisdictions.

Maybe, but that only covers the court portion. The more problematic portion is gathering admissible evidence.

Also, it's not clear if small claims would have jurisdiction with companies that aren't in the same state.

Additionally, winning in small claims only gives you the right to chase after the award (the court is not going to collect on your behalf) -- so you still have to go to the time, hassle, and expense of trying to collect.

Specific to business lines, where harassment remains a legal recourse:

More to the point, establishing yourself as a litigious asshole may change the counterparty's marketing calculus. Which is the principle point.
