Protecting debtors from abusive debt collection tactics
Blocker Law works with businesses and consumers to resolve burdensome debt through settlement negotiations, loan workouts and bankruptcy. Additionally, as a member of a reputable collections law firm, I am often deeply troubled by stories I hear about harassing and unlawful collection practices. If you are a consumer facing abusive collection tactics, Blocker Law can help. State and federal law govern the collection of debt. When creditors violate these laws, I hold them accountable. For example, The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits creditors from engaging in abusive practices to collect debts, including:
- Harassment — Debt collectors are legally prohibited from acting with harassing behavior, including:
- Threatening you with violence
- Publishing your name
- Using obscene or profane language
- Calling you repeatedly to annoy you
- False statements — Debt collectors are legally prohibited from lying, including:
- Falsely representing themselves as attorneys or government agents
- Claiming you owe more money than you do
- Misrepresenting that the nature of papers they send you are legal if they are not
- Stating that you will be arrested
- Saying that they will seize assets unless they are legally permitted to do so
- Threatening to take legal action if they lack legal grounds or do not intend to do so
- Deception — Debt collectors are legally prohibited from using deceptive means, which include:
- Sending you a document designed to appear as if it is from a court or government agency when it is not
- Providing a third party with false credit information about you
- Using a false name
- Unfair practices — Debt collectors are legally prohibited from engaging in unfair practices, for example:
- Collecting fees or interests not authorized by law or contract
- Depositing a post-dated check prior to the date indicated
- Illegally taking property
- Contacting you by postcard
Consumers may sue abusive collectors for damages
I analyze whether the collectors violated FDCPA and other Ohio and federal laws. I guide you in the collection of evidence, and establish a case against the abusive debt collectors. While I put an end to the harassment, I can also assess your debt to determine whether settlement negotiations or bankruptcy may be options for the long-term resolution of your financial troubles.
