Harassed by a Debt Collector? You May Be Owed Money

April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Start with the short, confidential intake above so we can evaluate your claim quickly. If we believe you have a case, we’ll send a limited retainer covering only your FDCPA claim against the collector. We are not representing you for defending the underlying debt, for bankruptcy, or for any other matters. Once engaged, we move to preserve evidence, notify the collector, and pursue damages on your behalf. Throughout, our fee is contingency-based: you pay nothing out-of-pocket, and if we win, the collector is responsible for our fees and costs.
Even if you owe the debt, federal law limits what collectors can do. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) gives you the right to be free from harassment, lies, and unfair tactics—and it lets you seek compensation when collectors cross the line. If we accept your case, you pay nothing unless we win.
Under the FDCPA, you may be entitled to up to $1,000 in statutory damages per lawsuit, plus additional money for the harm you suffered—things like stress, lost time or wages, damage to your reputation, or out-of-pocket costs. If we prevail, the collector can be required to pay your attorney’s fees and court costs, not you.

"You will never pay us out-of-pocket. Should we accept your case, you only pay if we win and the collector is responsible for our fees and costs"
FDCPA protections generally apply to third-party debt collectors and law firms collecting a consumer debt. That means agencies or collection law firms trying to collect on things like credit cards, medical bills, auto deficiencies, or personal loans. We currently focus our screening on these consumer debts. We do not handle claims involving business debts, and we are not taking new matters related to mortgage or student loan collections at this time. Also, contacts from the original bank, hospital, or lender are typically not covered by the FDCPA.
What counts as illegal collection conduct? Examples include repeated or poorly timed calls (before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.), contacting your work, family, or friends about your debt, using threats or abusive language, misrepresenting the amount owed or adding unlawful fees, threatening arrest, garnishment, or lawsuits that aren’t real, or failing to send the legally required written notice of your debt.
To bring a strong claim, it helps to show how the conduct affected you personally. Many people tell us they were confused about who they owed or how much, nearly paid money they didn’t actually owe, lost time dealing with calls and letters, felt anxious or lost sleep, had their privacy invaded when a collector spoke to others, had to change numbers or block calls, or spent money trying to fix the situation. Your experience matters—these impacts can support additional compensation.
Timing matters. FDCPA claims have a short deadline: generally one year from the violation. If your experience happened within the last 11 months, you’re likely still within the window. If you’re closer to a year, contact us immediately so we can evaluate your options.
