Is Conrad Acceptance Corporation Calling You?*


Is Conrad Acceptance Corporation calling you? Learn to protect yourself!

People rarely get themselves into deep debt on purpose, but if you lose your job or become too ill to work, arrears can pile up quickly. Next thing you know, third-party debt collectors are calling you and sending collection letters.

If they attempt to bully you into paying, be aware that the law is on your side and you have rights that collection agencies violate at their own professional risk.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects indebted consumers from bullying and harassment by third-party collection agencies. These companies and their representatives are prohibited from using pressure tactics like the following to make you pay.

  • Using profane and abusive language
  • Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Claiming that you can be arrested and imprisoned for nonpayment of a debt
  • Contacting you at work after being informed that your boss does not permit such calls
  • Discussing the debt with anyone but you, your spouse, your attorney, and any debt co-signers (if applicable)

Alleged Violations against Conrad Acceptance Corporation

Alexander Abbe vs. Conrad Acceptance Corporation et al*

According to PACER, in or around early 2010 a California resident started to get constant calls from Conrad Acceptance Corporation seeking payment for an alleged debt.

When the voicemail messages left by company collectors allegedly failed to identify the callers as debt collectors seeking to collect a debt, he hired a consumer attorney and sued Conrad Acceptance Corporation for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

  • Engaging in harassing, oppressive and abusive conduct
  • Using false, deceptive and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Failing to disclose in subsequent communications that the communication was from a debt collector

The matter was later dismissed.

If the phone rings and any of these numbers appear on your caller ID, it means that a collection agency is looking for you to settle a debt. If they leave voicemail messages that conceal the reason for the call, contact a consumer attorney.

This lack of transparency is illegal under the FDCPA, and if you sue you could potentially win $1,000 per FDCPA violation as well as attorney’s fees, court costs, and any actual damages. Never tolerate harassment from a debt collector: instead, fight back.
