Are You Being Called By Troy Capital, LLC?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


When a debt collector demands payment from you, they may tell you that you have no choice but to pay the debt. This is not true. If you don’t owe the money or the debt is too old to be collected, you can order the collection agency to stop contacting you.

If they refuse, the law allows you to file a lawsuit and seek compensation.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

A consumer protection law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) grants you certain rights when communicating with debt collectors. If a collection agency uses any of these ruses to bully or deceive you into paying, you can take legal action.

  • Threatening to destroy your credit
  • Calling your friends and relatives even after they have located you
  • Leaving voice messages that do not clearly identify the caller as a debt collector
  • Ignoring your request for written verification of the debt
  • Continuing to collect after receiving a written cease communications notice
  • Calling you at times they know are inconvenient for you

Alleged Violations against Troy Capital, LLC

According to PACER, on or about May 21, 2014, Troy Capital, LLC sent a collection letter to a Pennsylvania consumer. The letter indicated that interest could continue to accrue on
unpaid principle, which she took as a subtle threat to pay the debt.

The consumer was also concerned because a barcode and account number were visible through a glassine window on the envelope, making her personal information viewable. The letter also did not advise her that a dispute had to be in writing.

Feeling harassed by Troy Capital, LLC, the consumer sued the company for the following alleged FDCPA violations:

  • Making misleading statements about her dispute rights
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Making her account number visible to outside parties

The matter was later settled.
