Are You Being Called By the Steven Lloyd Group?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


If you fall behind on one of your monthly debts, such as a credit card account or medical bill, your creditor will eventually turn the account over to a collection agency.

Third-party debt collectors are known for going to extremes to collect a debt, so if you are treated in a manner that makes you feel threatened or stressed, learn more about your rights in such situations.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits unethical and abusive debt collection practices. If you are being pursued by a debt collector that tries any of the tactics below to make you pay, they have broken the law and you can seek compensation.

  • Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Claiming that you have committed a crime by not paying a debt
  • Threatening to ruin your credit if you don’t pay
  • Demanding amounts that are inflated by ‘service charges’
  • Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your boss doesn’t allow such calls
  • Demanding that you pay a debt that is not even yours

Alleged Violations against Steven Lloyd Group

According to PACER, in or around May 2015, an Illinois consumer switched cellphone carriers and received a new number. Soon afterwards, he started receiving calls from Steven Lloyd Group, looking for a “Brian Crowe.”

When he informed the collectors that they had the wrong person, they allegedly ignored him and continued to call.

Feeling harassed by Steven Lloyd Group, the consumer consulted an attorney and filed an FDCPA lawsuit against the company for allegedly violating his rights by:

  • Calling him constantly although he was not the debtor
  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt
  • Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt

The matter was later dismissed.
