• Calling at before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m
• Using abusive and/or obscene language
• Threatening you with consequences they have no intention of taking
• Calling you at work
• Claiming that you can be arrested if you do not pay
• Using an autodialer to constantly call you

Alleged Violations against Mountain Run Solutions**

According to PACER, in or around November 2018, A consumer in Texas pulled up her credit report and found that Mountain Run Solutions was reporting a debt to at least two of the three major credit reporting agencies.

On February 4, 2019, she called the agency and insisted that she was not the debtor. A representative allegedly told her that it would delete the account from her credit file, but never followed through.

Feeling harassed by Mountain Run Solutions, the consumer took action against the agency for:

• Sending inaccurate information to the credit bureaus
• Using unfair means to collect a debt

A judge awarded her $1,000 in statutory damages along with attorney’s fees of $3,900 and court costs of $450.
