Your Rights Under the FDCPA

● Using profane and abusive language
● Refusing to validate the debt
● Threatening to garnish your wages
● Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
● Reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus
● Pretending to be lawyers or members of law enforcement

Alleged Violations against Quad Corporation, Inc.

According to PACER, on or around November 10, 2016, an Illinois consumer ran her credit report and saw that Quad Corporation, Inc. was reporting three open accounts: two from 2008 and one from 2010. When she called for more information, a collector allegedly tried to get her to set up a payment plan to pay down the total outstanding balance, without telling her that the 2008 debts were outside the statute of limitations.

Feeling harassed by Quad Corporation, Inc., the consumer got a free case evaluation from a consumer attorney before suing the company for:

● Trying to collect a time-barred debt
● Using deceptive means to collect a debt
● Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later settled.
