Are You Being Called By McGuigan Law Office?


Stress over financial hardship, especially when an abusive debt collector gets thrown into the mix, can be unbearable. If this happens to you, stay calm. As a consumer you have rights that specify what debt collectors can do to get your money.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates the activities of third-party collection agencies. It enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, which gives you the right to sue when a debt collector ignores your rights in the following ways:

● Raising their voice and making threats
● Threatening legal action they cannot take
● Telling your friends, coworkers, and neighbors about the debt
● Swearing and calling you names
● Contacting you even after you’ve ordered them to cease communications
● Demanding an amount that is not supported by law

Alleged Violations against McGuigan Law Office

According to PACER, in or around early 2012, McGuigan Law Office began calling a California consumer about a debt. She alleged that collectors yelled at her, called her a deadbeat, and called her boss and co-workers to embarrass her into paying.

Feeling harassed by McGuigan Law Office, the consumer hired counsel and took the firm to court for:

● Failing to identify itself as a debt collector
● Contacting uninvolved third parties
● Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later settled.
