Russell Fuller has filed a lawsuit against debt collector, I.C. Systems for allegedly making numerous calls to him in an attempt to collect on a debt that was already paid off, in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Case No. 1:11-cv-00136

According to the Fuller, I.C. Systems began placing collection calls to him in January, as many as 5 times a day in an attempt to collect on 2 medical bills. He informed the debt collectors that his health insurance company was handling the accounts and the accounts were already paid. In February, Fuller claims he told debt collector that the original account holder confirmed there was no balance on either account but, I.C. Systems continued to place collection calls.

The defendant is accused of violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by engaging in conduct that is abusive and harassing to Fuller and for calling Fuller repeatedly and continuously with the intent to annoy, abuse, and harass.

If you are being harassed by a debt collector in violation of the FDCPA, you may be entitled to compensation. Please give California Consumer Protection Attorney, Todd M. Friedman a call at 877-449-8898 for a free consultation.
