Bluebyu Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 # 14: The use of any business, company, or organization name other than the true name of the debt collector's business, company, or organization.Can I use this in my lawsuit with a CA ? They are reporting on my CR with one name and have a bond to do collections in another..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Sounds like they're using another name to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 This generally applies to OCs who send letters out using a ficititous name to appear the letter is coming from a third party collector. But if you have received letters under both names in a short period of time, you may be able to construct a cause of action under the FDCPA for using deception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDon Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Yup - false or misleading representations by a CA is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I would consider the bond name and the trade name they use to report as being deceptive to you. Or anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
