Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector. Here is a sample complaint:
A complainant believed that they have become a victim of identity theft. Soon after coming to this realization, the complainant filed a police report, and Freedom Mobile, the company where the complainant allegedly owed said debt, explained that they notified the credit bureaus to remove a collection notice for an amount $8,906. The credit bureaus and Allied International Credit Corp claim that they, “have received no such information and it could take 30-60 days to remove this from the credit report”. The complainant now feels as though they have been victimized twice because this is an extensive period of time to spend removing a credit report. The complainant would like to know why Allied International Credit Corp posted this account to the complainant’s credit bureau when it was fraudulent. The complainant would like this matter solved immediately, and for justice to be served.
If you find yourself allegedly indebted to Allied International Credit Corp, it is important that you learn to protect yourself by understanding your rights when it comes to collections companies.
