Are You Being Called By Opportunity Financial, LLC?*


Debt collectors harass their targets using a variety of abusive and unethical methods. Common examples include using name-calling, using an autodialer to speed-dial the person’s phone, and threatening to garnish wages or send the person to jail.

Such behavior is 100% illegal, but they bank on the probability that most consumers are too unfamiliar with their rights to protest.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, regulates what debt collectors can say or do while attempting to collect a debt. When a collection agency uses measures like those below, they risk being fined or shut down.

  • Harassing you over a debt that is not even yours
  • Demanding amounts that exceed the original debt
  • Calling you directly after learning that you are now represented by an attorney
  • Using abusive language
  • Demanding amounts that are not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Calling you at inconvenient times

Alleged Violations against Opportunity Financial, LLC

According to PACER, on or around February 9, 2017, an agent of Opportunity Financial, LLC sent a collection letter to a Missouri consumer. She alleged that the document was on letterhead that made it appear as if an attorney was involved and that when she called to learn more about the debt, she was told that “clients place accounts with us to obtain judgments.”

Feeling harassed by Opportunity Financial, LLC, the consumer acted on her rights and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA by:

  • Making it appear as if an attorney was involved in her case
  • Threatening actions that could not legally be taken
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading methods to collect a debt

The matter was later dismissed.
