Can you help me file a No Fee Lawsuit against Torres Credit Services?

Absolutely. Here are some Sample Cases against Torres Credit Services

Complaints against Torres Credit Services frequently cite problems resulting from inaccurate information reported to the credit reporting agencies (CRAs). In June 2016, a complainant reported that he had discovered inaccurate information on his credit report. He tried to contact TCS, but could not reach anyone. He contacted the original creditor, and they told him there was no record of an outstanding balance.

In May 2016, a complainant indicated he had discovered on his credit report a collection item for $1,200.23 for an outstanding utility bill. The complainant contacted TCS, who told him they did not have any information regarding the account, and that the utility company in question was not one of their clients. Regardless, the complainant subsequently received a letter from TCS stating he owed $1,200.23. This letter represented the first contact Torres Credit Services had ever initiated with him. The complainant researched the matter further and discovered there was another person with a similar name to whom the debt may have belonged, but it had already been reported on his credit reports.

In February 2017, a complainant had closed a utility account, but found there was an outstanding balance reported on his credit report. He contacted TCS, paid the remaining amount due, informed them he had never been notified of the outstanding balance, and requested that they remove the item from his credit. After 3 months and 3 additional phone calls, his credit report still reflected the delinquency, so he contacted TCS again and was told “they never removed negative credit reports, that there was no supervisor the complainant could speak with, and that in fact they don’t forward calls to anyone for any reason and then hung up.”

In all three complaints, TCS’ responses begin with the statement, “Torres Credit Services, Inc. (hereafter ‘TCS’) …is a Pennsylvania Corporation conducting business as a licensed collection agency in various jurisdictions. Torres Credit Services is not a telemarketer and performs no activities whatsoever which fall within the… purview of the Telemarketer Registration Act, 73 P.S. S 2241 (2005), et seq., (hereinafter ‘the Act.’).As you know, under the Act, ‘a telephone solicitation call does not include a call made to a residential or wireless telephone Consumer… (2) in reference to an existing debt, contract, payment or performance.’” In all three cases, TCS provides resolution by stating that “Torres Credit Services discontinued collection of the account, requested deletion of its trade line from all credit reports and closed its file.”

Torres Credit Services TCS 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.
