PRESS RELEASE
St. Paul, MN - Today, Boe & Associates, a leading consumer advocacy firm, announced a major victory for a client facing debt collection harassment from Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRA), one of the nation's largest debt buyers. With the firm's help, the client was able to successfully secure the dismissal of a lawsuit filed against their client, saving them from undue financial burden and continued emotional distress.
The client, identified only as Jane Doe for privacy reasons, was targeted by PRA for an alleged debt they disputed. Despite Ms. Doe's attempts to communicate and resolve the issue, PRA persisted with aggressive tactics, including harassing phone calls and threats of legal action. Faced with mounting pressure and potential financial harm, Mr. Doe turned to Boe & Associates for help.
“Debt buyers like PRA often employ aggressive tactics to collect on questionable debts,” explained Jeff Boe, President and Chief Consumer Advocate at Boe & Associates. “They rely on consumers feeling overwhelmed and intimidated to settle quickly, regardless of the legitimacy of the claim. We are proud to help our client's stand up and fight back against these abusive, illegal, and deceptive practices.”
Boe & Associates meticulously investigated the debt's origin, uncovering inconsistencies and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Leveraging this evidence, they argued that PRA's lawsuit lacked merit and constituted harassment. Ultimately, PRA was forced to agree and dismissed the case.
This victory serves as a reminder that consumers have rights and do not have to succumb to abusive and illegal debt collection tactics. Boe & Associates encourages anyone facing similar situations to reach out to them to see how they can help you.
