Alleged Violations against National Bureau Collection Corp*

According to PACER, on or around March 7, 2013, National Bureau Collection Corp sent a collection letter to a New Jersey consumer. The letter stated that the debt of $61.20 was being evaluated for possible legal “attention” and that the consumer had one last chance to pay the debt before “it is evaluated by one of our attorneys.” However, the agency was not known for employing attorneys licensed in New Jersey who file lawsuits and follow post judgment remedies.

Feeling harassed by National Bureau Collection Corp, the consumer engaged a lawyer and sued the company for using false, deceptive and misleading means to collect a debt.
The case was later resolved.
