Are You Being Called By SN Servicing Corporation?*

For most of us, being in debt is bad enough, but when debt collectors assail us with demeaning and aggressive phone calls every day, it can feel like you’re being stalked. Don’t let an unethical collection agency harass you into paying a debt you can’t afford. Instead, review your rights as an indebted consumer.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a consumer protection law that requires third-party debt collectors to treat you with respect during all communications. Methods like the following are illegal and can get the agency closed down:

• Harassing you over a debt that isn’t yours
• Using an autodialer to call you
• Calling anyone except you, your spouse, or attorney about the debt
• Claiming that you can go to jail for not paying a debt
• Adding illegal service fees to the original debt
• Collecting from you during the 30-day dispute period

Alleged Violations against SN Servicing Corporation

According to PACER, on or around November 3, 2014, an Illinois consumer received a collection letter from SN Servicing Corporation regarding a mortgage debt. This debt had been included in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but the consumer received follow-up letters that appeared to threaten foreclosure and a negative credit rating.

Feeling harassed by SN Servicing Corporation, he hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

• Misrepresenting the legal status of a debt
• Contacting him directly when he was represented by an attorney regarding the debt
• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Trying to collect an amount not permitted by law

The matter was later settled.
