Is Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas a scam?

They’re legit. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) indicates that Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas was founded and incorporated locally in Missouri in 2003. The BBB opened its file on RMT at about the same time. Buzzfile estimates RMT’s annual revenue at $750,000 and estimates the size of their headquarters staff at 9 people.

Who does Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas collect for?

Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas collects delinquent debts for financial services companies; utilities; security contracts; cable and satellite; bank cards; storage facilities; automotive loans; and commercial debt. Their philosophy is that “a business is only as good as the people it employs, and we work hard to attract the best of the best within the collections industry.”

Their website states that their goal or mission “is to recover as much of your money owed to you as humanly/legally as possible and that’s our job, bottom line.” They cite tough economic times as an acceptable justification for “adjusting…internal procedures to remain profitable,” and cite as their strength their willingness to accommodate businesses who adopt this view.

RMT asserts that “regardless of what a consumer may wish to believe, the legalities of [their] contractual terms cannot be changed,” and that by “maintaining a professional approach and explaining the facts to the consumer, [RMT has] been able to continue to achieve above average liquidation rates for [their] clients.” This statement implies a hostility and intolerance toward consumer protection laws, and, in fact, aside from their membership with the Association of Credit and Collection Professional (ACA), there is little mention on their website of compliance and no mention of outside consumer resources.

Can Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas 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 RMT 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 Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas Inc – RMT?

Absolutely.  You can sue a debt collector. Here are some Sample Cases filed in Federal Court

In 2018, Rosenthal Morgan and Thomas, Inc. faced a proposed class action filed by a Wisconsin consumer who alleges the debt collector sent her a letter that violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in that it failed to explain her debt amount while misrepresenting her debt dispute rights.

According to a March 2018 invoice, the plaintiff owed a third party $249.11 for personal security services, the lawsuit says. In July, the case continues, the consumer received a letter from the defendant that listed a balance of $316.37 for the same obligation without any explanation for the balance increase. The suit claims the defendant “improperly added amounts to the Debt which are not expressly authorized by the agreement creating the Debt or permitted by law.”

Also, the BBB reported that in June 2017, a complainant alleged that Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas violated several provisions of the FDCPA in their efforts to collect a debt. In this case, the complainant indicated that RMT had initially contacted her in mid 2016, at which time she was a resident of Indiana. By the time of the complaint, she had moved to California, and she alleged that RMT representatives had begun calling her daily before 8:00am in violation of California’s Rosenthal Act. The complainant indicated that the debt in question, for a past due amount from a storage unit, had been settled and that Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas had failed to provide verification for the debt. The complainant also indicated that the RMT representative was hostile, rude, aggressive, and abusive in their telephone exchange. In reply, RMT indicated that they were unaware that the complainant no longer resided in Indiana, and that they had called according to the time zone indicated in their original contact information for the complainant. RMT blamed the complainant for not notifying them that she was no longer residing in Indiana. However, the complainant is not legally required to keep collection agencies informed of changes to their place of residence. On the other hand, collection agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of information in the files they manage for creditors. RMT also denied that the complainant had ever requested verification of the debt, although the burden of responsibility for providing verification of debts is on the collection agency, not the debtor. Nonetheless, Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas indicated that they had sent a copy of the disputed contract, payment ledger, foreclosure inventory, and photos of the storage unit with its remaining items to the complainant, and asserted that she had not been relieved of any liability to pay the past due amount. Ultimately, the complainant rejected the attempt at resolution, concluding that she had not received the documents or photos; that she had call logs to prove her claims of calls at inappropriate times; that Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas had threatened to repossess her car, garnish her wages, and take her job; and that “they asked weird things and made me uncomfortable.”

Rosenthal, Morgan & Thomas RMT 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 RMT 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.
