In New York, around 75,000 people have been awarded $59 million in a class action lawsuit against the debt collection industry.
The court found a large system of debt collectors only pretended to notify their debtors of lawsuits. Then, when the debtors didn’t show up in court, the collection agencies automatically won the case.
As a result, thousands of people had their wages garnished, their accounts frozen, and their property seized.
This case brings up an important problem with debt collection: these companies are enormous. They have a lot of money, and a lot of power. They can be very intimidating, especially when they use illegal tactics.
Fortunately, there are laws to help debtors deal with debt collectors. And I outline exactly what your rights are in my free report Creditors Can’t Do That.
In this report, I tell you the 13 things a creditor CAN’T do and how to fight back when they cross the line.
It’s also important to note that bankruptcy can immediately stop lawsuits, wage garnishment, repossession, and foreclosure.
