Are You Being Called By Green Square Company?

Many debt collectors are aggressive when they’re trying to get you to pay a debt. Most of them hope that you won’t know that such harassment is illegal and, if you make a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission, you could put them out of business.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, allows consumers to dispute a debt and tell collection agencies to stop calling you. It also controls what debt collectors can say or do and does not allow tactics like those below.

● Calling at inconvenient times
● Showing up at your house to intimidate you
● Demanding payment for a debt discharged in bankruptcy
● Raising their voice and calling you names
● Threatening to damage your credit rating
● Using an autodialer to harass you

Alleged Violations against Green Square Company

According to PACER, in or around early 2019, Green Square Company allegedly began to call an Ohio consumer to collect a debt. He reported that the agency called him constantly on his cell phone and where he worked and that, on one occasion, a voicemail was left threatening legal action over a bad check.

Feeling harassed by Green Square Company, the consumer sued the agency for:

● Calling him at work
● Not identifying the caller as a debt collector
● Threatening unfounded legal action

A judge awarded him $1,000 in statutory damages, $4,600 in attorney fees, and $400 in court costs.

Hire a Consumer Lawyer

The phone numbers for this debt collection agency are:

● 1-888-608-6413

If they ever pop up on your caller ID, you are being called by Green Square Company about an alleged debt. If they threaten legal consequences to scare you, hire a consumer lawyer and file a claim against Green Square Company. You may receive $1,000 per FDCPA violation, so the company’s harassing behavior could end up costing them.
