Are You Being Called By Anson Street, LLC?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


A debt collector may tell you that you have no choice but to take their harassing calls, but the law says otherwise. In November, one collection agency was fined $9 million after allegations that it harassed Californian consumers with thousands of robocalls.

This is exactly the kind of conduct that consumer protection laws are designed to stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) penalizes third-party collection agencies that harass, deceive, and otherwise abuse consumers in ways like the following:

  • Calling you at work after you tell them that you can’t take personal calls there
  • Using obscene language
  • Demanding amounts that are not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in the your time zone
  • Trying to collect after you have formally disputed a debt
  • Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it

Alleged Violations against Anson Street, LLC

According to PACER, on or about September 24, 2015, an agent acting on behalf of Anson Street, LLC sent a collection letter to an Illinois consumer regarding a mortgage debt that he had stopped paying in October 6, 2008.

The loan had gone into default in Nevada, where the statute of limitation was six years, making the debt uncollectible in 2015.

Feeling harassed by Anson Street, LLC, the consumer acted on his rights under the FDCPA by suing the company for:

  • Misrepresenting the legal status of the debt
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later settled.
