Are You Being Called By ACE Recovery, Inc.?*

If you encounter financial difficulties that send your monthly debts into arrears, your creditors will eventually turn the accounts over to a third-party collection agency. Debt collectors often pursue repayment in ways that border on harassment, such as cursing and threatening you with arrest. If this happens to you, don’t tolerate it. Call an attorney instead.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA grants you the right to dispute a debt and tell collection agencies to stop to stop calling you. It also prohibits collection tactics like those below.

• Calling at inconvenient times
• Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your attorney, spouse, or co-signer
• Calling non-stop with the intention of annoying and harassing you
• Using profane or obscene language
• Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request

Alleged Violations against ACE Recovery, Inc.

According to PACER, in or around later 2012, ACE Recovery, Inc. began calling the cellphone of a New York consumer to collect a debt. He complained that these calls were made using an autodialer that left prerecorded messages.

These messages allegedly did not identify the company or the reason for the calls.

Feeling harassed by ACE Recovery, Inc., the consumer hired legal counsel and sued the agency for allegedly violating her rights by:

• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Failing to identify itself a debt collector in all communications

The matter was later settled.
