A Debt Collector hounds a man to death, widow files a lawsuit

A Florida widow claims that a debt collection company hounded her husband to death by calling multiple times per days over the years, verbally abusing him and leaving harassing telephone messages on their answering machine.

Lawsuits against debt collection companies alleging illegal practices for violating the FDCPA are common, however this may be the first ever wrongful death suit filed against a collection company.

The debt collection company denies that the collection calls could have led to this man's untimely death and is looking forward to defending this matter in court.


Jeff Suher, Pittsburgh Consumer Attorney who specializes in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Jeff sues abusive debt collectors and helps consumers that have incorrect information on their credit reports.
