Are You Being Called By Unique Management Services, Inc.?*


Surveys have shown that very few adult Americans do not carry some kind of debt load these days. This makes it potentially catastrophic if you lose your job, become divorced, or experience another setback that can prevent you from making your minimum monthly payments.

If debt collectors try to make the matters worse, don’t let them. No matter what they try to tell you, you can fight back.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects consumers from unfair and unethical debt collection practices. It takes punitive action against third-party debt collectors that try to apply the following strategies to collect a debt.

  • Shouting and using profanities
  • Demanding amounts that exceed the original debt total
  • Contacting you at work after learning that the employer does not permit such calls
  • Pretending to be attorneys, police officers, or federal agents
  • Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease
  • Failing to validate the debt on request

      Alleged Violations against Unique Management Services, Inc.*

      According to PACER, on or about June 9, 2014, and July 28, 2014, Unique Management Services, Inc. sent collection letters to an Indiana consumer. She complained that her account information was visible through a glassine window on the envelope and that the letter itself suggested that nonpayment could leave her credit damaged.

      Feeling harassed by Unique Management Services, Inc., the consumer reviewed her options and eventually sued the company for these alleged violations of the FDCPA:

      • Making misleading remarks about the impact on her credit
      • Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt

      The matter was later settled.
