Are You Being Called By Waypoint Resource Group, LLC?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Are you getting daily calls from a debt collector who swears at you and says you can go to jail for an unpaid credit card bill? Do they use profane language and call your family when they can’t reach you directly? Alarming as this situation is, you have rights that can help you bring this treatment to an end.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects you when debt collectors make misleading, threatening, or harassing statements to deceive you into paying a debt. Below are some examples of actions that legally cross the line:

  • Threatening to submit false information to the credit reporting agencies
  • Calling you after you have sent a cease communications letter
  • Saying that they can seize protected income, such as social security or disability checks
  • Collecting interest, fees and other charges that are not authorized by the original creditor agreement
  • Falsely claiming to be an attorney
  • Threatening to have you arrested or jailed

Alleged Violations against Waypoint Resource Group, LLC

According to PACER, on or about February 13, 2017, Waypoint Resource Group, LLC sent a collection letter to a Virginia consumer. It stated, in part:

If you do not satisfy the terms and conditions of this settlement agreement, accrued interest or collection costs that occur during this time may be added to the current total balance indicated on this notice.

Because your account may accrue interest, late charges and other charges which vary from day to day, the amount required to pay your account in full on the day we receive your payment may be greater than the amount stated here.

The consumer knew that during the collection phase the balance would not vary, and felt that this language was intended to coerce him into making payment when in reality there would be no additional fees added.

Feeling harassed by Waypoint Resource Group, LLC, the consumer hired a lawyer and sued the company for allegedly violating his rights by:

  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Failing to send a debt validation letter

The matter was later dismissed.
