Are You Being Called By USI Solutions, Inc.?*


The debt collection industry is thriving because recent times have seen more people unemployed and unable to pay their bills. Many of them have to choose between paying their rent or their credit card bill.

If a collection agency harasses you during such a difficult time, be aware that you have rights prohibiting such treatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, became law over 40 years ago. It was passed at a time when debt collectors were bullying people into bankruptcy. Today, it prohibits collection actions like those below and allows you to take legal action against agencies that use them.

  • Failing to send a debt validation letter within five days of contacting you
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Telling you that not paying a debt is a crime
  • Telling your friends and family that you owe money
  • Calling at work although such calls are not allowed
  • Demanding payment for a debt discharged in bankruptcy

Alleged Violations against USI Solutions, Inc.

According to PACER, on or around June 3, 2016, an agent of USI Solutions, Inc. sent a collection letter to an Illinois consumer regarding a private student loan that became delinquent in 2006. It stated, in part:

Because of the age of your debt, USI SOLUTIONS, INC. will not sue you for it. If you do not pay the debt, USI SOLUTIONS, INC. may report it …. as unpaid.

The consumer felt that threats to take negative action belied the statement about not intending to sue him. The agency also could not file a delinquent credit report regarding the debt at issue because no such report can be made once seven years have passed from the date of last activity.

Feeling harassed by USI Solutions, Inc., the consumer filed an FDCPA lawsuit against the company for allegedly:

  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt

The matter was later settled.
