Are You Being Called By Bayview Solutions, LLC*?

The collection industry is massive in the U.S. Thousands of companies collect literally billions of dollars’ worth of debt every year. When you have a debt sent out for collection, the company assigned to your account will call you, send letters, and press for payment.

They don’t always do so in an ethical manner either, but know that you have rights that protect you against such treatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects indebted consumers from third-party debt collectors who might otherwise behave in ways that would drive them to bankruptcy. It restricts what collection agencies can do and prohibits actions like the following:

• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
• Calling you at work after you tell them that you can’t take personal calls there
• Using profane or obscene language
• Making threats they have no intention of following up on, such as seizing your house or having you arrested
• Calling you at work if they know what such calls are not allowed
• Leaving voice messages that do not identify the collector and the purpose of their call

Alleged Violations against Bayview Solutions, LLC

According to PACER, in or around early 2016, Bayview Solutions, LLC started trying to collect a debt from a Washington resident. He later alleged that during these collection attempts, the company threatened to sue him, leaving voicemails stating that it would be “seeking litigation” and “move forward with legal documents”.

The Washington resident also complained that collectors failed to identify themselves as such in each email and did not send him debt validation when asked. Feeling harassed by Bayview Solutions, LLC, the Washington resident hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

• Threatening to take an action or actions that cannot be legally taken
• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Failing to send validation of the debt

The matter was later dismissed.

You could potentially win $1,000 per FDCPA violation, so when debt collectors cross the line, never be too intimidated to push back.
