Are you being called by Roquemore & Roquemore, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know.

There are many reasons why people fall into debt. Job loss, illness, and other setbacks can all make the most financially responsible person go deep into debt. This rarely matters to debt collectors, who can be ruthless and abrasive when it comes to getting payments. If you find yourself being bullied by a collection agency because you’ve experienced a financial setback, learn more about your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 after people continually complained about mistreatment by third-party debt collectors. This consumer protection law makes it illegal to use tactics like those below to intimidate you into paying.

  • Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Calling you at work after they’ve been advised that such calls are not allowed
  • Cursing at you and calling you names
  • Threatening legal action they cannot take or have no intention of taking
  • Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Reporting false information to the credit bureaus

Alleged Violations against Roquemore & Roquemore, Inc.

According to PACER, in or around early 2012, Roquemore & Roquemore, Inc. started contacting a Nevada resident to collect a debt. She later complained that the company called her cell phone at an excessive rate and left numerous voice messages threatening to file a lawsuit against her if the debt was not paid immediately.

Callers also allegedly stated that she would go to jail if the debt was not paid, and one collector allegedly said he was an officer of the law and made comments like “this is not a game” and offering her an “education on how things work.” On one occasion a collector allegedly went to her neighbor’s house, discussed the debt with that person, and said to her he now had “a better idea of what [the collector] have been dealing with.”

Feeling harassed by Roquemore & Roquemore, Inc., she hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:

  • Discussing her debt with third parties
  • Using oppressive and abusive means to collect a debt
  • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Threatening legal action it had no intention of taking
  • Failing to send a debt validation letter

The matter was later dismissed.
