Success Stories
- 🏆 Ideal Collection Services calls were so aggressive I dreaded checking my phone. They demanded extra fees not in my original loan agreement and refused to validate the debt. Telephone Harassment linked me with a lawyer who sent a cease-and-desist letter and sued under the FDCPA for illegal threats and excessive calls (over 7/day). The firm’s expertise was clear, they knew every loophole Ideal Collection Services tried to use. Within weeks, the calls ended, and I got $1,500 in damages. Highly recommend documenting everything and letting professionals handle it!
- 🏆 After months of relentless calls from Ideal Collection Services, sometimes 10 times a day, even at 7 AM. I was at my wit’s end. They threatened wage garnishment and yelled about a debt I didn’t even owe. I found Consumer Rights Law Firm Center through a Google search, and within days, they reviewed my case for free. They proved Ideal Collection Services violated the FDCPA by calling outside allowed hours and misrepresenting the debt. Not only did the calls stop, but I also received a $1,000 settlement per violation! The firm handled everything, and I paid nothing out of pocket. Lifesavers!
- 🏆 Ideal Collection Services left voicemails saying they’d “ruin my credit” and even called my neighbor about my “debt.” I reached out to Sue The Collector after seeing their FDCPA success stories. Their attorney connected me with filed a lawsuit for TCPA violations (auto-dialed calls) and FDCPA abuse. The law firm’s evidence included saved voicemails and call logs. Ideal Collection Services settled for $2,500, and the harassment stopped cold. The best part? The firm’s fees were covered by the settlement no cost to me. If you’re getting bullied by debt collectors, FIGHT BACK!
