Are You Being Called By Ditech Financial, LLC?*

Is a collection agency making your life miserable by calling you nonstop and embarrassing you in front of your friends and family? If they tell you that there is no law preventing them from treating you this way, they’re lying. As an indebted consumer, you have rights protected by state and federal law.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, requires third-party debt collectors to treat you with respect when communicating with you about a debt. If a company tries to make you pay by using these types of pressure tactics, see a consumer lawyer about protecting your rights.:

• Leaving anonymous or automated phone messages
• Making false statements to a credit bureau about the debt
• Saying they have court papers to serve on you when they don’t
• Calling your relatives or friends after the collector has located you
• Ignoring a written dispute
• Trying to collect a time-barred debt

Company Profile: Ditech Financial, LLC

If you are being called by Ditech Financial, LLC, here is some background information about the agency.

Ditech Financial, LLC, which formerly did business as Green Tree Servicing LLC, is a home loan servicer and debt collection agency located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania with locations across the United States.

It opened for business in 1975, has 20 to 49 employees on staff, and is managed by its President, Anthony N. Renzi. Records of consumer lawsuits viewable at the PACER website confirm that consumers who thought they were being harassed by Ditech Financial, LLC acted on their rights and fought back.

Alleged Violations against Ditech Financial, LLC

According to PACER, on or around November 18, 2013, Ditech Financial, LLC started trying to collect a mortgage debt from a husband and wife in California. (At the time, it was doing business as Green Tree Servicing LLC)

The couple asserted that they paid their mortgage in a timely manner each month, so they ignored the payment demand.

After they refused to pay, the company (which was now officially Ditech Financial, LLC) allegedly attempted to collect the debt by sending representatives to the couple’s home, sending letters, making inappropriate phone calls, and by reporting the debt on the couple’s credit reports.

Feeling harassed by Ditech Financial, LLC, the consumers hired an attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating their rights in the following ways:

• Calling and making contact with them at inappropriate hours
• Contacting them after they indicated their refusal to pay the debt
• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt
• Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

Judge George H. Wu later made a judgment on the matter.
