Under the FDCPA, you may be eligible for statutory damages of up to $1,000, and the law may require the collection agency to pay your attorney fees if you prevail in court.
To put an end to debt collection harassment, you can send a cease and desist letter to Unique Management Services, instructing them to stop contacting you. If the harassment continues, consider reaching out to a law firm that specializes in fair debt collection practices and consumer protection. You can also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or the (CFPB) to hold the collection agency accountable for any abusive debt collection practices.
It’s important to remember that you have the right to dispute any alleged debt. If you believe you do not owe the debt or that the amount is incorrect, request validation from Unique Management Services before making any payments. Keep detailed records of all calls, letters, and emails from the debt collector, as this documentation can be crucial if you need to take legal action.
