Are you being called by Adams & Morse Associates, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know.

Debt collectors can be as persistent as hungry mosquitoes. They just won’t leave you alone and may even harass you over debts you don’t owe. If this happens to you, remember that you have rights as a consumer and do not have to suffer abuse just because you may owe money.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a consumer protection law that was passed in 1977, regulates the way that debt collectors can deal with consumers while attempting to collect payments. Actions like the following are prohibited and illegal.

  • Threatening legal actions they have no intention of carrying out
  • Talking to your friends, neighbors, and coworkers about the debt
  • Telling you that you have committed a crime like fraud and will be arrested
  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. your time
  • Persisting in trying to collect a disputed debt

Diane Hertzog vs. Adams & Morse Associates, Inc. et al*

According to PACER, on or around December 14, 2004, Pennsylvania resident Diane Hertzog began receiving collection calls from Adams & Morse Associates, Inc. at her workplace. Although she told the caller, who identified himself as ‘Sonny’, that her employer prohibited such communications, the calls allegedly continued. At one point Sonny allegedly responded, “I’ll call you everyday at work and at home until the bill is paid.” During a call on or about December 16, 2004, he allegedly told Ms. Hertzog that if she failed to pay within thirty days, her driver’s license would be suspended. Later, he allegedly left voice messages for her supervisor.

Feeling harassed by Adams & Morse Associates, Inc., Ms. Hertzog 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
  • Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt
  • Calling her at work although such calls were prohibited by the employer

The matter was later dismissed.
