Hi Sofia
Welcome to the forums.
When you are taking actions against a debt collector, be sure to have factual proof and present it to your lawyer. A private attorney will help you to sue the collector in a state or a federal court within a period of one year. This period begins from the date when you prove that the law was violated by him. After you have won the case in the court, you will recover the extent of damages that you have suffered and an additional amount of $1000. You can also be successful in getting the court costs and other attorney fees.
You can report the illegal actions of this collector to your state Attorney General's office as well in the FTC and the BBB. You can fill the online complaint form or call the Federal Trade Commission 1-877-382-4357.
Be sure to have accurate proof when you are pressing charges against them. The collection agency will be allowed to present their defense. So, keep your basis strong.
Regards
Roxette
