They’re legit. Core Recoveries is a real collections company, and your alleged debt with this company should be taken seriously.

Debt collectors cannot make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. This action is illegal. Ultimately, if this collections company cannot prove that you owe the alleged debt it is unlikely that they would choose to sue you, especially if the debt cannot be validated.

Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector.
If Core Recoveries is calling you, remember that you have rights under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA). Federal laws protect you. More specifically, the FDCPA regulates the behaviors of collections companies by prohibiting unethical collections practices such as the use of abusive or threatening language; harassment; or the use of false or misleading information to collect a debt. On top of rights guaranteed by the FDCPA, consumers are also awarded protection under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA). If you find that this collections company may have violated any of these laws, be sure to contact an attorney to protect your rights as a consumer.
Yes. If you want to enforce your rights, or recover money for violations — you need to sue. Federal laws provide individuals like you with a means to seek monetary damages in court. For example, consumers can recover up to $1,000 in damage, plus attorney fees and costs because of rights written in the FDCPA.
