Video - Debt Collectors posing as Law Enforcement Officers and Lawyers

A Texas couple flees their home, in fear that the police are coming to arrest them.  However, it was NOT law enforcement who was calling threatening to "pick-them up".  It was a debt collector.

Another couple thinks that the Maryland police department is contacting them, however after investigations, it appears to be a Buffalo debt collection company.

Dateline NBC investigates Final Claims Asset Locators, a debt collection company owned and started by a man who served time for armed robbery!  Basically this lets us know, that there is nothing in place to check the background of someone who wants to buy debt portfolios, which includes people's personal and private financial information.  Anybody can be a debt collector!!  That is scary.

This short Dateline NBC debt collection video includes more debt collection stories and an inside look at the office of Final Claims Asset Locators. 



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.
