We have heard many complaints from consumers stating that they are getting collection calls from this number regarding debts owed by people that they do not know.   When a debt collector finds out that they have the wrong phone number, they are not supposed to continue to harass that innocent consumer, however that is not always what happens.

It is against the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to harass consumers on their phones with unsolicited and/or unwanted calls.  Even if you do owe the debt, collectors are not permitted to harass you.  If you are being harassed in violation of the law, you may be entitled to compensation.  Please give my office, The Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman a call at (877) 449-8898 for a free consultation.

Previous legal precedents set by actions against other companies over algorithmic bias and discriminatory practices could help challenge these systems. Various attributes like zip code, device type, or browsing history that impact pricing could lead to violation of consumer protection and civil rights protections. Investigations by multiple agencies signal a move towards a stronger stance against such practices.
