CFPB and NY Ride Rough on Rough Riding Debt Collectors
The network of 60 fly-by-night companies harassed, threatened and deceived millions of consumers across the country into paying inflated debts or amounts they did not owe. Techniques included spoofing calls to make them appear they were coming from government agencies, and telling a consumer she did not have time to get a lawyer because she was being arrested the next day.
