Are You Being Called By Cypress Asset Recovery Services?*

When you’re having financial problems and can barely make ends meet (let alone pay your debts), rude and demanding calls from a debt collector can make things even worse.

If you are being chased by a collection agency that bullies, deceives, and otherwise abuses you, understand that their actions are illegal and you don’t have to tolerate them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) regulates the conduct of third-party debt collectors. These companies may only contact you at approved times and refrain from abusive conduct like the following:

• Raising their voice and threatening you
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Refusing to provide you with information about the debt
• Impersonating law enforcement
• Use abusive, obscene, or profane language
• Publicly identifying you as an alleged debtor

Cypress Asset Recovery Services is a debt collection agency in San Francisco, California. It was established in 209, has 15 employees, and is managed by owner Kes Narbutas.

Alleged Violations against Cypress Asset Recovery Services

According to PACER, on or around March 8, 2016, Cypress Asset Recovery Services sent a collection letter to the wife of a California consumer. It used the letterhead for The Tehama Law Group, but the sender did not appear to be a licensed attorney.

He disputed the debt and soon received another letter demanding a higher amount. The agency also allegedly called the consumer at work and threatened to sue and/or file criminal charges against him for nonpayment.

Feeling harassed by Cypress Asset Recovery Services, the consumers sued the agency for:

• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt
• Threatening to take action that cannot legally be taken

The matter was later settled.
