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

Federal laws protect you.

“I got a test yesterday in settlement of my case. I need to thank you and your staff for your services. I discovered the people I dealt with at Lemberg Law to be unfailingly polite, professional, and helpful when I called in with questions.”
“Never did I feel anything less than your most important customer. I love your service, and wish that more people were aware that there was a remedy for those foul creatures that call themselves collectors. Do not get me wrong, I pay my debts, or at least attempt to, but those agencies are aware of what they’re doing is illegal and know that the person on the other end of the line probably does not know that.”
“It was a joy to deal with you. I would recommend this company to anyone.”

They call me all hours of the day. I have never answered them.
I get DAILY calls from these people even at 5, 6, 7pm but when I answer the line is dead silent and nobody says anything. Its basically a prank phone call daily and usually multiple times. Also I have not received any mail or anything from these guys so I had no idea why or who this was harassing me.
