Who does GLA Collection Company collect for?

According to their website,  GLA Collection Company claims that their staff members have an average of 12 years of experience in health collections. GLA Collection Company focuses on medical collections, and advertises an “early-out” program that they claim makes them individual advocates instead of a collection agency.

Along with its early out program, GLA provides a service called “Pre-Collect.” GLA asserts that this is a “milder” collection procedure which utilizes “third-party influence” to increase collections. GLA Collection Company employs robocalling tactics, utilizing an auto-dialer to confirm information and proceed customers through the collections process. If a debt is uncollected after 60 days, GLA accounts the debt to the major credit agencies.

Can GLA Collection Company Sue Me or Garnish My Wages?

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

Can you help me file a No Fee Lawsuit against GLA Collection Company?

Absolutely.  You can sue a debt collector. Here Is A Sample Case Filed in Federal Court 

In 2015, a judge in U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky, refused another debt collection agency’s motion to dismiss Mooneyham vs. GLA Collection Company for alleged violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the judge’s decision, the customer alleged that GLA Collection Company reported his medical debt to a credit bureau. He explained that, when he attempted to cover GLA Collection the face value of the debt, the debt collection agency told him he needed to cover interest rates that range from 8 percent o 18 percent annually. The customer argued that the interest rates violated state law and, thus, the FDCPA’s prohibition against collecting fees that a debt collection agency isn’t legally entitled to collect. The judge ruled against the second defendant and allowed the case to proceed.

GLA Collection Company Calling You?

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).

Can I sue GLA for harassment?

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, the FDCPA allows consumers who have been violated to recover damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.

    This company should be ashamed and stopped for harassment.
    Completely unwilling to negotiate or try to help someone that really needs help.
    It saddens me to know how cruel and unkind people are to one another.
