Is Alliance CAS LLC Calling?*

If you’re getting calls from Alliance CAS LLC, you may want to know your rights as a consumer.

Many people find themselves swamped in major debt through no fault of their own. They lose their jobs, amass large medical bills, or become too sick to work.

Whatever the reason, debt collectors will soon be contacting them and very likely harassing them for payment, hoping they will never realize how illegal such practices are.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

As a consumer you have legal protection under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, which limits what debt collectors may say and do during the process of collecting a debt. Below are some collection tactics that are illegal under federal law.

• Calling you at inconvenient times and places
• Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
• Trying to collect after you have formally disputed a debt
• Using profane or obscene language
• Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors seeking to collect a debt
• Calling you at work after you advise that your boss won’t let you take such calls
• Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe a debt

Alleged FDCPA Violations by Alliance CAS LLC

Keith Nethersole, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated vs. Alliance CAS LLC**

According to PACER, in September 2011 Alliance CAS LLC sent a collection letter to Florida resident Keith Nethersole, demanding payment for housing association fees no later than 30 days after the date of the letter and assessed a fee of $200 for ‘collection fees and costs’.

Feeling harassed by Alliance CAS LLC, he 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
• Failing to send a debt validation letter
• Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

  The matter was later dismissed.
