We represent the victims of abusive and illegal debt collection techniques who are served with unjust lawsuits or threatened with contract termination, repossession, or wage garnishment. Debt collectors unfairly pressure consumers into paying debts, and they use intimidating tactics to secure payment of a debt that may not be valid because it has been discharged in bankruptcy or litigation or it is time-barred. Debt collectors are often unfamiliar with the original debt–including the amount of the initial debt, payments made, the amount of late fees, or the accrued interest–yet they engage in illegal communication tactics, false statements, or unlawful charges to get money that is not rightfully theirs.
We remedy these violations through class action litigation and individual lawsuits under state and federal law, and we defend consumers who are the victims of an unjust lawsuit lodged against them by a debt collector.
