Consumer Rights When Dealing with Debt Collectors

When you’re contacted by Medical Data Systems or any other debt collector, it’s crucial to know your rights as a consumer. Both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) are designed to protect you from unfair, deceptive, or abusive debt collection practices. Understanding these protections can help you take control of the debt collection process and safeguard your financial well-being.

Here’s what you need to know about your rights:

  • ▶️ Request Debt Validation: You have the right to ask Medical Data Systems to validate the debt they claim you owe. This means you can request detailed information about the debt, including the original creditor, the amount owed, and supporting documentation. If Medical Data Systems cannot provide this information, they cannot continue collection efforts.
  • ▶️ Dispute Inaccuracies: If you notice errors or outdated information on your credit report related to Medical Data Systems collections, you can dispute these inaccuracies with both the credit bureau and Medical Data Systems. Under the fair credit reporting act, credit bureaus are required to investigate and correct any mistakes, helping you protect your credit history and credit score.
  • ▶️ Stop Unwanted Communication: If Medical Data Systems calling becomes overwhelming, you can request in writing that they stop contacting you. After receiving your request, they can only reach out to notify you of specific actions, such as legal proceedings or debt validation.
  • ▶️ Negotiate a Payment Plan: If you acknowledge the debt and want to resolve it, you have the right to negotiate a payment plan that fits your budget. Medical Data Systems may be willing to work with you to set up payment arrangements, which can help you manage outstanding medical debt without further damaging your credit.
  • ▶️ Remove Medical Data Systems from Your Credit Report: If you’ve paid the debt or if the debt is invalid, you can request that Medical Data Systems remove the collection account from your credit report. This step is important for improving your credit scores and overall financial health.
  • ▶️ Seek Legal Help: If you believe Medical Data Systems has violated your rights—such as engaging in debt collection harassment or reporting false information—you can pursue legal action. You may be entitled to damages, and a free consultation with a consumer rights attorney can help you understand your options.

Common Questions

Is MDS a scam? 

No, Medical Data Systems has been in business for 20 years.

Can Medical Data Systems garnish my wages?

MDS can only garnish your wages after obtaining a court judgment against you. This means they must first sue you in court and win the case before they have the legal authority to garnish your wages, such as for a Federal Student loan.

Can MDS sue me?

Yes, Medical Data Systems can sue consumers for unpaid debt if the debt is within the statute of limitations. If you have an unpaid debt, medical data systems sue as a legal means to collect what is owed.

Can MDS report my debt to the collection’s bureaus? 

Yes, debt collectors are allowed to place the collection account on your credit reports. Unpaid debt reported by MDS can negatively affect your credit score and make it harder to obtain loans or credit in the future.

Should I pay MDS?

If the debt is a legitimate debt, you should pay or validate it. Always request a validation letter to ensure the debt is valid before making any payments.

Can I validate debt or request a validation letter from MDS?

Yes, you have the right to validate debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). You can request a validation letter from Medical Data Systems to confirm that the debt is accurate and legitimate before making any payments.

Can MDS arrest me?

Debt collectors don’t have the authority to have you arrested for a debt. However, if you violate a court order, e.g., an order to appear in court, the judge can issue a warrant for your arrest. Depending on the laws in your state, you may be arrested for certain debts like unpaid child support or traffic tickets.
