Are You Being Called By Bishop, White, Marshall & Weibel?


Few people make credit card purchases without the intention of making repayments, but an accident or illness can leave you in such poor financial shape that you can no longer make ends meet. If debt collectors harass you as they try to collect your money, understand that you have rights that protect you from such treatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Congress passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in 1977 to allow indebted consumers to resolve their debt situation without being subjected to pressure tactics like the following:

● Calling you names like deadbeat or loser
● Threatening to publish your name to a public debtor’s list
● Using an autodialer to send nonstop calls to your phone
● Telling your friends and relatives that you don’t pay your bills
● Saying they have a court action in progress when they don’t
● Calling you at the crack of dawn or late at night

Alleged Violations against Bishop, White, Marshall & Weibel*

According to information on the PACER website, in or around March 18, 2010, a California consumer called Bishop, White, Marshall & Weibel regarding an alleged Discover Card debt. He spoke to a representative who allegedly failed to identify herself as a debt collector before asking him to put his request in writing. He did so, and added that he was now being represented by a bankruptcy attorney.

On March 19, a representative allegedly called him directly, although the firm had been informed that he had legal counsel. He also alleged that he had never received a debt validation package yet. On March 22, the firm faxed him a letter with the heading ‘Discover Bank, Issuer of the Discover Card, vs. (Consumer Name)’, suggesting that legal action was in progress when it was not. In addition, the consumer allegedly received constant calls via an autodialer system.

Feeling harassed by Bishop, White, Marshall & Weibel, the consumer filed an FDCPA lawsuit against the firm for allegedly:

● Contacting him directly despite knowing that he had an attorney
● Failing to identify itself a debt collector in all communications
● Trying to collect during the dispute period

The matter was later settled.
