Are You Being Called By Glacier Financial Services, Inc.?*

Receiving daily phone calls and letters that threaten lawsuits and other consequences is alarming and stressful. You want it to stop, but the debt collector ignores your cease communications letters and says they won’t stop contacting you until you pay.

Don’t tolerate, as legal counsel is more accessible than you think.

• Failing or refusing to identify themselves as debt collectors trying to collect a debt
• Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease

Alleged Violations against Glacier Financial Services, Inc.

According to PACER, on or around May 18, 2005 Glacier Financial Services, Inc. sent a collection letter to a Colorado man demanding a payment of $2374.57 for an alleged debt.

The principal was listed as $2324.65 and interest of $49.92. A letter the previous April fixed the interest at $18.33, however, and the consumer was certain that the principal amount included accrued interest that was not properly designated.

Feeling harassed by Glacier Financial Services, Inc., he hired a consumer lawyer and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later dismissed.
