It is illegal for a debt collector to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. It is also unlikely C2C would sue you for a debt you may not owe or they cannot validate. However, debt collection agencies are known to have summoned debtors to court and garnish wages after a default judgement. Contacting an attorney BEFORE this could possibly happen would be a smart move. We’ve helped thousands of consumers fight back against unscrupulous debt collection harassers. Find out if we can help you too today!

Absolutely. Here are some Sample Complaints
Complaints against C2C Resources cite problems resulting from disputes about the validity of debts as well as allegations of harassment and abusive and threatening language. In April 2019, a commercial client stated that he had been contacted by C2C “on several occasions about a matter between his company and another vendor.” The complainant stated that the C2C representative “was leaving messages with very rude, derogatory character references, and other questionable comments about him and members of his family to his staff.” Allegedly, the C2C representative “was very rude to his staff on every occasion, asking personal questions of them and additional members of his family that had no involvement with his business.” The complainant also alleged that “he would call and leave sensitive financial records on the public answering machine for anyone to check…and called the complainant rude names repeatedly to his staff when he would leave messages.” Eventually, one of the complainant’s staff members called C2C “and left a very polite and sensitive message regarding the matter,” and the complainant “was finally able to get the misunderstanding worked out.” In its response, C2C did not accept responsibility for the threatening and abusive language, stating only that there was “some back and forth in the conversations upon review, but we are glad that we were able to get our client to agree to additional time for them to pay their bill.”
In September 2017, a complainant notified the “police department regarding threatening phone calls made… by” C2C. The complainant alleged that the C2C representative who had contacted him “did not say whom he worked for or why he was calling.” Instead, his messages contained threats and insinuations, such as “‘Good morning… I’m going to give you roughly about 30 minutes…to contact me in this office… You also are going to need to reference a case number…Good luck.’” Another message allegedly stated, “‘Hello… I want you to realize that we will be notifying the district attorney concerning you… You need to call this office.’” The complaint and his neighbor “spent a great deal of time trying to figure out the problem,” and they finally understood that the caller was “attempting to get money from us.” In response, C2C stated that they had been “hired to recover funds from an NSF check.” The complainant’s name “was listed as an officer of a couple of companies” the C2C representative “reached out to.” C2C stated that “this will confirm that the complainant is not involved and will not be called again.”
Federal laws protect you. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) regulates the behavior of collection agencies by prohibiting actions such as the use of abusive or threatening language; harassment; or the use of false or misleading information to collect a debt. The FCRA regulates how collection agencies and creditors report delinquent debts to credit reporting agencies. Additional consumer protection laws include the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA).
But here’s the rub: If you want to enforce your rights, or recover money for violations — you need to sue. These laws provide individuals like you with a means to seek monetary damages in court. For example, the FDCPA allows consumers who have been violated to recover damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.
You may have a case, if…
“With your help the nagging collection calls have finally ceased! I was thrilled I was also able to get damages from the collection agency. I am unable to adequately express my joy. I am so thankful I made the call.”
“When I first emailed the office, I was not exactly sure what they could do for me. I had an idea, but they responded back with everything I could expect to take place. I never believed I would be receiving a check, it was definitely a silver lining. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking customer legal services.”
“I just wanted to let you know we received the check from your office on now and I wanted to take some time to inform you that we really appreciate all of your efforts in this matter.”
