Is Equity Experts a scam?

They’re legit. Equity Experts can be considered a legitimate collections company due to the fact that it has been in business for 14 years . Therefore, it is unwise to ignore the need to resolve your debt and write off this collections company as a scam. However, the collections business has not been accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has received a horrific “F” rating from the BBB.

Additionally, Equity Experts has been accused by the state of Minnesota of, “Respondent conducting collection activity after its license lapsed; Respondent represented to a consumer that it had filed a lien against the consumer’s property when no such lien was in process; The respondent represented to a consumer that it intended to file a lien against that consumer’s property when no such lien was in process; Respondent represented to a consumer that it would obtain judgement and garnish the consumer’s tax returns when no such authority exists”. While these charges are serious, according to BBB.org the collections company paid a civil penalty to resolve the matter.

According to the Equity Experts Website, the company is complying with FDCPA rules, internal compliance, and industry advocacy. Many complainants feel as though Equity Experts may not have helped them resolve their outstanding debt problems in a professional or courteous way. Many complaints on the BBB claim that Equity Experts may have violated the FDCPA. Lastly, According to Zoominfo.com, Equity Experts has a total of 20 employees and is lead by President Michael Novak.

Who does Equity Experts collect for?

Equity Experts does not cite on their website which specific area of collections that they specialize in, or what specific companies they work for, it only leaves consumers and clients with the message “98% success and 90 day pay”. Because there is little information available on this collections website, it is wisest to confirm which debt is specifically owed and to whom when inquiring about your debt. Due to the outsourcing of debt, inquiring as soon as possible is the smartest move to make because one collection account can turn into many reporting on your credit file if the debt is not dealt with.

How many complaints are there against Equity Experts?

Equity Experts has received a number of complaints across the internet, including BBB.org. It is no surprise that without accreditation, and with an “F” rating from the BBB, that there are many complaints posted about Equity Experts. This collections company has received 8 complaints closed in the last 3 years and 7 complaints closed in the last 12 months as well as five customer reviews amounting to a contradictory 4.6 star review overall on the BBB. Additionally, Equity Experts received 107 Google Reviews amounting to a 4.5 star review overall. A majority of these complaints included concerns about the collections company failing to effectively communicate with consumers and help resolve debt.

Only one complaint is available for viewing on the BBB, and Equity Experts has spent time responding to this complaint. However, the reoccurrence of similar complaints across additional websites has done damage to Equity Experts’s reputation within the collections world. More seriously, this collections company could have also been a part of a variety of lawsuits, sanctions, and penalties according to  Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”), which reports all federal complaints within the U.S. federal system’s docket.

Can Equity Experts Sue Me or Garnish My Wages?

Yes and no. Ultimately, if Equity Experts chooses to sue or garnish wages they will likely do so after a default judgement. However, it is illegal for Equity Experts to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. Like most collections companies, Equity Experts would likely choose not to sue you for a debt you may not owe or they cannot verify, but it is the wisest option to contact an attorney preemptively to ensure the safety of your assets and rights. Lemberg Law awards consumers the power to fight back against these fraudulent collection practices. Need Help? Call us today.
