Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Abusive collections
A collection agency (NAFS) recently contacted a relative regarding an outstanding debt (mine). They stated the amount of the debt, and tried to get my relative to send them a check. Also, when I contacted NAFS, the rep claimed to be a 'mediator'-not a collector. Is this legal?

Re: Abusive collections
Sounds like you could have a claim under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or the Florida collection practices act. Give me a call if you need legal representation.

It is likely a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Further information would be needed to assess the issue. If you would like to contact my office, I would be pleased to speak with you.
