Alleged Violations against Recovery Partners, LLC

According to PACER, in or around early 2010, Recovery Partners, LLC allegedly tried to collect a consumer debt from a Maryland resident by calling her several times a day and frequently disconnecting the call as soon as she answered. The plaintiff also claimed that the callers failed to identify themselves or state they were calling to collect a debt, and persisted in contacting her after she told them that she was represented by an attorney and asked them to direct their calls to her attorney. On at least one occasion a debt collector allegedly threatened to report false information on her credit report.

Feeling harassed by Recovery Partners, LLC, the plaintiff hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Harassing her by phone
• Contacting her directly even though she was represented by an attorney
• Threatening to ruin her credit
• Failing to validate the debt

The matter was later settled.
