The harassing company pays our fees.
They’re legit. Madison Management Services has been in operation for a number of years. However, the BBB has not accredited Madison Management Services as a business and has also rewarded the company with a less than glowing “D-” review. With this being said, one can still conclude that Madison Management Services is a real business. Be sure to contact this collections company regarding your debt instead of writing them off as a scam.
Madison Management Services leaves a message to website visitors regarding their “policies”, writing, “Policies at Madison Management Services are created and maintained with the purpose of encouraging a culture of ethical, social, professional and legal behavior. Policies serve to communicate Madison’s vision, mission and strategic plan while protecting its people and reputation.” One can conclude that this company would likely take collections matters very seriously, however, it is possible that some complainants may argue the contrary and claim that this collections company violated collector’s law. In regard to leadership, Madison Management Services cites Mr. Kevin J. Cordell, Managing Member as the principal contact.
According to their website, Madison Management Services collects on behalf of creditors in the home mortgage sector. While this may be the case, it is still essential that as a consumer you contact this collections company to inquire about your specific debt and adequately resolve your debt discrepancy. By contacting the collections company, you award yourself the power to gain necessary information to verify your alleged debt and attain details on the account owed. Acquiring this information is important because due to the outsourcing of debt, one collection account can turn into many reporting on your credit file if the debt is not dealt with.

Take a look at the link above to find out whether Madison Management Services falls within this category.
Debt collectors may try to induce payment by threatening to sue you or garnish your wages. Using empty threats of legal action to intimidate consumers into payment is prohibited under the FDCPA. Likewise, collection agencies are highly unlikely to sue for debts which you cannot be verified to owe. However, it should be noted that debt collection agencies can garnish wages through legitimate legal action if a judgement rules in their favor. We strongly advise you to contact an attorney BEFORE such a judgement would be possible. Here at Lemberg Law, we have advocated for tens of thousands of victims of debt collector harassment. Contact us to see if you may have a case.

Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector.
The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits collection agencies from pursuing debts via over-the-phone harassment. More specifically, this includes excessive, threatening, misleading, and/or untimely calls. If you are a victim of any of these, you may be able to sue the offending collection agency. Likewise, the FCRA regulates the circumstances under and means by which collectors and creditors can report delinquent debts to credit reporting agencies.
Yes. Federal Law allows you to protect your FDCPA rights in court via lawsuit. The FDCPA entitles violated consumers to recover damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees, court costs, and personal damages.
You may have a case, if…
“Amazing work! After being harassed for over a month with automated voicemails, I got in touch with Lemberg Law. All I had to do was provide a little information, the numbers, and the voicemail recordings, and they sent me a no-risk, representation agreement. A few weeks later, they called me with a settlement agreement from the company who now agreed to pay me, pay Lemberg’s legal fees, and stop harassing me.”
“They were quick and responsive. I had a debt collector harassing me over a debt that wasn’t mine. They threatened me with ruining my credit. But these guys got it taken care of!! The debt was removed and I received $750 from the collectors. Thank you!!”
“The associates at Lemberg Law took amazing care of me and my situation involving the collection agency. They walked through the steps of process thoroughly and the rest is history. I can’t thank them enough. Thank you!!”
