Alleged Violations against Rapid Recovery Solutions*

According to PACER, in or around mid-2010, Rapid Recovery Solutions began calling a California consumer to collect a medical debt. She claimed that it had been incurred due to fraud and refused to pay. The collectors then allegedly became abusive and one caller even allegedly left a voicemail stating that they would “play hardball with her until she paid the debt.”

Feeling harassed by Rapid Recovery Solutions, the consumer hired a lawyer and sued the company for allegedly:

● Using profane language
● Harassing her by phone
● Threatening legal action it had no intention of taking
● Threatening to report false information to the credit bureaus

The matter ended up being settled.
