One debt collection agency called a relative to supposedly confirm so and so died - where did he live. Outrageous.
If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, you are not to act as a creditor to him; you shall not charge him interest. "If you ever take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sun sets, for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for I am gracious. ~ Exodus 22
At Howard | Nassiri LLP, we routinely sue collection agencies guilty of unfair behavior under the FDCPA, as well as a similar California law called the Rosenthal FDCPA. Like the attorney in that article, our Paramount debt collection abuse lawyers have seen a sharp increase in clients calling about abuse, harassment and mistaken identity by debt collectors. Unfortunately, many consumers don't realize there are laws protecting them until they have already endured months of constant phone calls, public embarrassment or abusive language and threats. Victims of those illegal practices and many others may sue the collection agency to enforce their rights under the FDCPA, regardless of whether regulators have taken action. Our West Covina fair debt collection attorneys can help victims win back not only the costs the abusive behavior caused, but also $1,000 per violation and all attorney fees and court costs.
