Are You Being Called By Fay Servicing, LLC?*

You’ve been trying to keep up with your growing credit card balance, but since your hours were cut back at work, you haven’t been able to pay the bills for three months now. As a result, collection agencies are harassing you nonstop.

If you are stressed by these constant attempts to collect money you don’t have, hire a consumer lawyer to help you put a stop to the harassment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a consumer protection law that was passed in 1977 and became law the following year. Unfortunately, there are many debt collectors who still go too far in their attempts to get you to pay. Common examples of FDCPA violations include:

• Causing your phone to ring at all hours
• Discussing the debt with your friends, family and neighbors
• Using hostile and obscene language
• Contacting you directly after you retain a lawyer
• Deliberately reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus
• Contacting you even after you dispute a debt

Alleged Violations against Fay Servicing, LLC

According to PACER, on or about May 11, 2014, Fay Servicing, LLC and U.S. Bank N.A. entered into an agreement with an Oregon consumer to obtain a judgment against him if they would not pursue a deficiency action against him.

Although he vacated the property as agreed the following July, Fay Servicing, LLC allegedly resumed collection efforts against him.

Feeling harassed by Fay Servicing, LLC, the consumer sued the agency for allegedly violating his rights in the following ways:

• Continuing collection efforts after he had vacated the property
• Misrepresenting the character, amount, or legal status of a debt
• Communicating with him directly instead of his attorney

The matter was later dismissed.
