Are You Being Called By Cavalry Portfolio Services?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


It’s difficult to work hard knowing that no matter how many hours you put in, you will never make a dent in your credit card accounts, student loans, and medical debt. It only gets worse when collection letters arrive in the mail and you start getting rude demands over the phone.

If you become the target of a collection agency, it can be overwhelming, but you need to know your rights and what these debt collectors can and cannot do.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a consumer protection statute which prohibits harassing, oppressive or abusive debt collection tactics. No matter how much you may owe, you have a right to be treated with dignity and respect, and if you’re not, you then have a right to sue the debt collector. Examples of prohibited tactics include:

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Telling your friends, neighbors and co-workers that you owe money and they are trying to collect it from you
  • Making legally insupportable threats
  • Threatening criminal behavior such as physical harm or property damage
  • Intentionally misrepresenting the amount or status of the debt
  • Charging interest or fees that are not included in the original credit contract

Alleged Violations against Cavalry Portfolio Services

According to PACER, on or about August 11, 2015, Cavalry Portfolio Services sent a collections letter to an Illinois consumer that included the statement, “We will continue to report information about your account to credit-reporting agencies.” This assertion was not followed up by advice on her rights as required by law.

Feeling harassed by Cavalry Portfolio Services, she filed a lawsuit against the company for threatening to ruin her credit even though the dispute period had not yet expired. The matter was then dismissed on a later date.
