Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Debt collectors call millions of consumers every year, and judging by the number of complaints received by the Federal Trade Commission, the communications are not always pleasant ones. If you are dealing with a collection agency that freely uses threats and bullying to get you to settle an account, don’t pay them. Contact a consumer lawyer instead.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is intended to protect the rights of consumers who owe money.

It regulates the conduct of third-party collection agencies and will fine any company that uses the following means to get a consumer to pay.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
  • Reporting false information to the credit bureaus
  • Pretending to be government agents or law enforcement
  • Saying they have court papers to serve on you when they don’t

Alleged Violations against Alliant Capital Management*

According to PACER, on or about February 2, 2017, Alliant Capital Management allegedly attempted to collect a debt from an Illinois consumer by calling his father-in-law and asked him to relay a message to him regarding a “claim number” against him.

Feeling harassed by Alliant Capital Management, the consumer hired an attorney and filed an FDCPA lawsuit against the agency for allegedly:

  • Referencing his debt with an uninvolved third party
  • Using harassing and oppressive means to collect a debt
  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later dismissed.
