Is Health Services Asset Management, LLC Calling You?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


There are few things in life that are more unwelcome than getting a call from a debt collector. It’s bad enough that you can’t afford to pay, but when they use abusive language and threaten to send you to jail or seize everything you own, you may be tempted to declare bankruptcy.

Before you resort to such a measure, see a consumer attorney first, as such harassment is illegal.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects you from being deceived, threatened, or harassed by third-party collection agencies. Any debt collector who subjects you to abuses like those below face serious penalties from the Federal Trade Commission.

  • Yelling and using obscene language
  • Calling you at inconvenient times and places
  • Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
  • Telling you that you can be arrested for not paying your debts
  • Contacting your friends, family and co-workers and discussing the debt with them
  • Making threats they have no intention of following up on

Alleged Violations against Health Services Asset Management, LLC

According to PACER, on or about January 20, 2016, Health Services Asset Management, LLC sent a collection letter to a California consumer seeking payment for an alleged medical debt. It demanded a total of $580.38, consisting of $575.00 and $5.38 interest charge for collection activities.

On the second page of the letter, it stated: “We charge interest at the following state-specific rates: . . . California 10% . . ..”

On or about February 15, 2016, Health Services Asset Management, LLC sent another collection letter to the consumer, this time demanding $575.00 and a $9.50 interest charge, although it still claimed to only charge 10%.

The consumer was annoyed because he had never agreed to pay a 10% collection charge, nor was such an agreement in the contract with the original creditor. Feeling harassed by Health Services Asset Management, LLC, he hired a consumer lawyer and sued the agency for:

  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt
  • Trying to collect an amount not permitted by law or the original creditor agreement

The matter was later settled.
