Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Is it true that a debt collection company is not allowed to threaten a lawsuit when they are not following through with it? I was threatened that I was going to be served papers by a process server and they even went so far as to confirm a location near my work to have the papers served and was told if the delivery failed a uniformed officer would then come to my work location only to have them offer me a settlement. They also called my employer and told them that they would be asking for employment verification and never followed through with it.

yes, these may be violations of the FDCPA. You may have the ability to file a claim against the collector.

Under the FDCPA, you are entitled to recovery of your reasonable attorney fees. In that regard, any consumer attorney/law firm, whether its my office or another, will not charge you anything to pursue such a case.
