Los Angeles Lawyer Helping Victims of Aggressive Debt Collectors

Your Original Debt May Have Been Sold to a Collection Agency

In today’s economic times, companies are using many methods to improve their bottom line. In cases where they have extended credit to consumers who are having trouble paying, creditors often sell a consumer’s debt (such as medical debt, personal loans, department store credit, and cell phone bills) to a third party. This third party collection agency typically buys the debt a reduced amount of the original debt, amount and will use significant resources to collect as much as possible. Unfortunately, some debt collection companies use aggressive tactics or improperly trained employees, and too often the people contacting debtors are harassing, abusive, and unfair to consumers. Fortunately, Federal and California state statutes, the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act (FDCPA) and the Rosenthal Act, respectively, protect consumers by allowing victims to file legal actions against debt collectors who break the rules outlined by the law.
