Consumer Claims
You have rights — and when debt collectors cross the line with threats, intimidation, or illegal tactics, it's time to push back. At the Law Office of Maria R. Alaimo, we help clients stand up to abusive debt collection practices and hold violators accountable under the law.
What Is a Consumer Claim?
Consumer claims involve legal action against individuals or companies — often debt collectors — who break the law while trying to collect a debt. These violations fall under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and similar consumer protection laws.
You may have a valid claim if you're experiencing:
- Repeated or threatening phone calls
- Collection attempts for debts you don’t owe
- Contact at your workplace after asking them to stop
- Use of obscene, harassing, or intimidating language
- Misrepresentation or false threats of arrest or legal action
- Calling family, friends, or employers about your debt
- Contact after sending a written request to cease communication
Understanding Consumer Claims - Holding Debt Collectors Accountable for Harassment and Abuse
Why Do These Cases Matter?
Illegal collection practices don’t just cause stress — they can lead to lost wages, emotional distress, damaged credit, and even job loss. Most people don’t know these tactics are unlawful, and collectors often rely on that ignorance to keep pushing boundaries.
Taking legal action isn’t just about stopping the harassment — it’s about protecting your rights and sending a message that abusive behavior has consequences.
What Compensation Could You Receive?
If your rights have been violated, you may be entitled to:
- Statutory damages (up to $1,000 under FDCPA)
- Compensation for emotional distress
- Lost wages or out-of-pocket costs
- Court-ordered cessation of illegal practices
We’ll evaluate your unique situation and determine what kind of recovery you may be entitled to.
