Are You Being Called By Alpha Recovery Corp.?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Does a debt collector have you so stressed out that you’re afraid to answer the phone? If so, they’ve already broken the law. Harassing, bullying, and in general mistreating indebted consumers is illegal, and can incur fines and other penalties from the Federal Trade Commission if you make a complaint.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Prior to 1977, debt collector misconduct was so outrageous that Congress felt compelled to do something about it. The result was the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA.

It gave consumers the right to dispute a debt, tell a collection agency to stop calling, and even sue a company that subjected them to the following abuses.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Calling you several times per day using an autodialer
  • Telling you that you can be imprisoned for not paying your debts
  • Threatening action they are not in a position to legally take
  • Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
  • Leaving vague messages that do not identify the caller as a debt collector

Alleged Violations against Alpha Recovery Corp.*

According to PACER, in or around mid-2011, Alpha Recovery Corp. began contacting a Michigan consumer to collect a debt. The consumer was a senior citizen, so on September 16, 2011, debt counsel for Seniors and the Disabled faxed a cease communications notice to the company. Despite confirmation that the fax was received, the company allegedly continued to contact the consumer directly.

Feeling harassed by Alpha Recovery Corp., she hired a consumer lawyer and filed a lawsuit against the agency for allegedly communicating with her after receiving a cease and desist notice.

The matter was later settled.
