Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Do debt collectors have you so stressed out that your heart skips a beat every time the phone rings? A lot of people are in your position, and it’s neither fair nor legal. Too many collection agencies abuse consumers because they assume that their victims are unaware of their rights.

Don’t be one of them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a consumer protection law that regulates the debt collection industry. All third-party collection agencies must obey its guidelines and refrain from deceptive tactics like those below, or they can be shut down.

  • Ignoring a written cease communications notice
  • Threatening violence to your person or property
  • Continuing to collect after you send a dispute letter
  • Contacting you directly after being informed that you have an attorney
  • Pursuing you for a debt that was discharged in bankruptcy
  • Calling you abusive names

Alleged Violations against Trident Asset Management

According to PACER, on or about January 11, 2010, Trident Asset Management allegedly called a Maryland consumer to collect a debt. She told the caller, who identified himself as Mr.
John, that she wanted to orally dispute the alleged debt. Mr. John allegedly replied that the debt could not be disputed.

The consumer later discovered that Trident Asset Management did not report her dispute to the credit bureaus and was not properly licensed to collect debts in Maryland.

Feeling harassed by Trident Asset Management, the consumer filed an FDCPA lawsuit against the agency for allegedly:

  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt
  • Failing to report the debt as disputed to the credit bureaus

The matter was later dismissed.
