Are You Being Called By Revenue Assistance Corporation?*


Debt collectors often engage in conduct that is unethical and even illegal. They even go so far as to abuse victims of identity theft. If this happens to you, don’t forget that you have legal protections that prohibit such mistreatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

If a debt collector is harassing you, they are breaking the law. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, gives you the right to sue a collection agency if they attempt to bully or trick you into paying in the following ways:

  • Trying to charge you a fee to make a debt payment
  • Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors trying to collect a debt
  • Calling your family and telling them that you owe money
  • Using profane and abusive language
  • Calling you several times a day
  • Demanding outrageous ‘fees’ in addition to the original debt

Alleged Violations against Revenue Assistance Corporation

According to PACER, in or around December 2010, Revenue Assistance Corporation started calling a Minnesota consumer. He alleged that on one occasion, a collector who identified himself as “Jim Ryan” left a message on his home phone and stated that “this [was] not a sales call so I am somewhat limited as to what I can leave on the answering machine.”

Feeling harassed by Revenue Assistance Corporation, the consumer acted on his rights by filing a lawsuit against the company for allegedly:

  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt
  • Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Failing to identify itself a debt collector in all communications

The matter was later dismissed.
