Can Receivable Recovery Services 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 RRS 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.

Can you help me file a No Fee Lawsuit against Receivable Recovery Services LLC – RRS?

Absolutely. Here are some Sample Cases

Complaints against Receivable Recovery Services commonly cite problems resulting from disputes about debt verification and the accuracy of information reported to the credit reporting agencies. In March 2018, a complainant indicated that he had requested validation of a debt, but that RRS had allegedly “refused to validate the debt that they have stated that he… owed.” The complainant denied that he owed the debt and denied that the amount requested was accurate. He stated that the debt was established without his knowledge, and that “the only correspondence that …he received was a billing statement, in which the amount is different than what is…reported on …his Equifax, Experian, …and Transunion credit reports.” He alleged that the failure to properly validate the debt violated the FDCPA and that the inaccuracies in reporting to the credit reporting agencies violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

In its response, Receivable Recovery Services advised the complainant that they “do not discuss personal business matters in a public forum,” and that he should contact them directly to discuss the matter further. The complainant posted a response to their reply that indicated he had called RRS. The representative he had spoken with allegedly had stated that they had contacted him initially back in 2017, but the complainant stated that he had never received any phone calls from them. He specified the inaccuracies in their credit reporting, indicating that his credit reports showed a delinquent amount that was different from the amount quoted in the collection letters from Receivable Recovery Services. He also alleged that the representative told him his 30-day window to dispute the debt had expired, but he claimed “never to have received any communication to even know about disputing the debt.” He again denied owing the debt, but also insisted that even if the debt itself were valid, the amount of the debt was inaccurate. He reiterated his insistence that the debt was established without his knowledge, and that RRS’s conduct constituted violations of the FDCPA, the FCRA, and unjust enrichment laws. Receivable Recovery Services’ final response indicated they would mail supporting documents to the complainant.

Receivable Recovery Services RRS 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).

But here’s the rub: If you want to enforce your rights, or recover money for violations — you need to sue. These 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.

    I am still getting phone calls from collection agency or agencies for a debt I thought was squared away a year ago. Phone calls were being made to my mom!s place and my sister’s. Paid an amount through RRS in February 2019, and received a letter stating that the dispute has been settled. I am still getting calls. So are my mom and sister claiming that I owe this same card money. They would be willing to settle for x amount, which is about $200 less than I already gave them in February, about half the amount I allegedly owed and. Not including court costs. They’re threatening court proceedings. The case is supposed to have been settled. I have the letter.

    Receivable Recovery is attempting to collection 1007, that I do not owe to them. I have request validation, with no response.. They will not supply me with any supporting documentation stating that this collection is mine.

    I received a debt collection letter from Receivable Recovery Services L.L.C., located in Metairie, Louisiana, on or about June 28, 2018. I am new to the gulf area, I recently moved from the west coast to Mississippi. When I received this letter at my home address in Mississippi, I immediately sent a letter to this company requesting validation of the debt and also asking if they are authorized to collect a debt out of state. The letter was sent on July 2, 2018. To date, I have never received a single piece of return correspondence from this company so I wrote it off as a scam that was intended to collect money from an innocent consumer who would not challenge their efforts. A few days ago, I received an alert that a collection was added to my credit report. I immediately checked my credit report and there is a collection listed in my name by this company, as of September 1, 2018. I contacted the number on file to speak to someone in their office. When I called, I referenced the account number on the original letter. I spoke to 2 separate rude representatives who refused to talk to me unless I provided them with my address and date of birth. I refused so they refused to discuss this account with me. They forwarded me to a supervisor, Ms. Lloyd, and I was only able to leave a voicemail. I did not receive a call-back. I have sent them another letter along with my original letter demanding validation. I have also written complaints to the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, Jeff Landry- Louisiana’s Attorney General’s Office, and I have filed a dispute with the credit bureaus that have this listed on my credit file.
