harassment and threats of illeagal garnishment
Complaint
john
Country: United States
This company called my elderly mother and scared her with false claims of a court case about to be filed against me. They also made false assertions that my sole source of income, SSDI, could be garnished then refused to provide me an email address to send a formal notice to cease and desist. I got legal advice but since they have no legal basis to collect the private debt instead of hiring a lawer now I am first notifying them verbally, they will deny this of course, and by email, this can't be denied! If harassment continues I then hire a lawyer and sue under FDCPA laws.
But how can one send them a cease and desist notice referencing your rights under FDCPA? They don't make it easy but I found a "back door" e mail address you can use. The mailing address was pretty easy to find but the E MAIL took a lot of work to find. Remember that most companies such as these want to be able to contact you and your relatives but make contacting them very hard as they often violate FDCPA regulations and threaten, lie, etc. to intimidate people into settling even when not legally required to. So here you are. It was good old fashioned greed for new customers that turned out to be their Achilles heel!

Why give them a way out?
The third party disclosure is clearly illegal, but the "accidental" call often elicits a payoff by the relative, to protect the target from this "lawsuit".
There are no accidents.
