Are You Being Called By Springman, Braden, Wilson and Pontius, P.C.*? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you have ever dealt with a debt collector in the past or even have an account in collection now, you know that the process can be complicated and stressful. Dealing with debt collectors is difficult when they fail to respect your rights, but you don’t have to tolerate mistreatment when there are other options available to you.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Although unscrupulous debt collectors like to make you believe that they hold all the cards, the truth is that a consumer protection law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, prohibits third-party debt collectors from using abusive means like those below to collect a consumer debt.

  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. your time
  • Contacting you after you have sent a cease and desist letter
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your employer won’t let you take such calls
  • Threatening legal action they are not eligible to take or have no intention of taking

Alleged Violations against Springman, Braden, Wilson and Pontius, P.C.

According to PACER**, on October 1, 2014 Springman, Braden, Wilson and Pontius P.C. sent a collection letter to a Colorado woman regarding a debt for a past residential lease agreement. The amount owed was listed as $1,284.65 and included such things as “attorney fees” and “court costs” as amounts owing and making up the total of $1,284.65. The debt was also allegedly incurred in 2010 and in Colorado the statute of limitations on a written contract is three years, making it uncollectible in 2014.

Feeling harassed by Springman, Braden, Wilson and Pontius, P.C., the plaintiff hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

  • Misrepresenting the character, amount, or legal status of the debt
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Using harassing, oppressive or abusive tactics to collect a debt
  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt
  • Threatening legal action that could not be taken

The matter was later settled.
