Eliminating Credit Card Debt Advice

Attorney General Lisa Madigan today filed a lawsuit against an aggressive debt collection agency that allegedly used unfair pressure tactics and misrepresentations to convince consumers they had to make payments on often uncollectible debt.

Madigan’s Consumer Protection Division has received 88 complaints against Financial Credit Service, alleging the collection agency used unfair and deceptive representations to obtain payments on uncollectible debt. In some cases, consumers alleged they were intimidated into making payments of between $100 and $5,000. In other reported instances, the defendants allegedly deducted money from the consumer’s bank account without...permission.

Madigan alleges the defendants sent collection letters and called consumers, often using abusive language to intimidate the consumer. In some cases, collectors from Financial Credit Service allegedly called consumers at their places of employment to harass them.
