Being Called By Schreiber Law Firm? Here’s What to Know


If you have an account in collection now, you know that the process can be stressful. Dealing with debt collectors is difficult when they fail to respect your rights, but you don’t have to tolerate mistreatment when there are other options available to you.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, allows consumers to dispute a debt, ask for proof that they owe it, and demand no further contact. Collection tactics like those below are prohibited.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Threatening legal action they have no intention of taking
  • Demanding an amount that’s not supported by law
  • Raising their voice
  • Discussing the debt with third parties
  • Calling at inconvenient times, usually before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.

Alleged Violations against Schreiber Law Firm

According to PACER, on or around December 23, 2013, Schreiber Law Firm sent a collection letter to an Indiana consumer. It stated, “As of the date of this letter, according to our client’s directions, the above amount is the total amount of the debt owed… At a later date our client may instruct our firm to collect additional amounts provided for in the aforementioned account agreement or pursuant to state or federal law.”

The consumer was left wondering whether the amount listed in the letter was the amount actually owed. Feeling harassed by Schreiber Law Firm, he sued the firm for providing unclear information about the debt.

The matter was later settled.
