It is illegal for a debt collector to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages.

Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector. Here is a sample complaint:
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).
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.
You may have a case, if…
“I never thought I’d finally be free of the nonstop phone calls and letters in the mail, but I finally am free. You went to work straight away, and I saw results fairly quickly.”
“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 what I could expect to take place. I never believed I would be receiving a check, it was definitely a silver lining. They always had great communication. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking consumer legal services.”
“A belated thanks for your company. I still get an occasional call but when I ask them to stop, they stop. Hopefully, sometime in the future, all of the collection agencies will close down. The peace from the constant calls is refreshing.”
Yes, we would love to assist you with your case. Call us today.
