Who is General Revenue Corp?

General Revenue Corp Collection Tactics

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects consumers from abusive, deceptive, or unfair debt collection practices. Under the FDCPA, consumers have the right to dispute debts and request that collectors stop contacting them. If a debt collector violates your rights, you may be able to sue for damages and attorney’s fees.

The statutory language of the FDCPA and other statutes provides specific rules for awarding fees and costs in litigation. Courts have discretion under federal rules and civil procedure to award or deny costs depending on the circumstances and other provisions. The Supreme Court and other United States courts have interpreted whether the FDCPA’s provisions displace the default federal rule for awarding costs, emphasizing that Congress intended to limit awards to prevailing defendants only in cases brought in bad faith or for harassment. When awarding fees, courts consider the work expended and whether defendant attorney’s fees are reasonable, ensuring that only reasonable attorney’s fees and costs are paid to prevailing defendants under certain statutory conditions. Denying costs to prevailing defendants could deter plaintiffs from bringing legitimate claims, but awarding costs in nuisance lawsuits helps prevent abuse of the legal system. Amicus curiae briefs, such as those submitted by the United States, have addressed the proper interpretation of the FDCPA’s statutory language, while GRC contends and GRC argues that the federal rule should allow courts to award costs unless the statute provides otherwise. These interpretations highlight the importance of statutory language, court’s discretion, and the interaction between statutes and federal rules in awarding fees and costs.

Steps you can take if you believe your rights have been violated:

1. ➡️ Request written verification of the debt.
2. ➡️ Send a written request for the collector to stop contacting you.
3. ➡️ Keep records of all communications.
4. ➡️ File a complaint with the (CFPB).
5. ➡️ Consult with a consumer rights attorney to discuss your options.
6. ➡️ If you file a lawsuit and are the losing party, you may be required to pay defendant’s costs if the court finds the case was brought in bad faith.
