Does Alpha Recovery Corps have Complaints against them?

Alpha Recovery Corps currently has 43 listed customer complaints on the BBB website database. They also have multiple 1 to 2-star reviews on the BBB as well.

There are no registered complaints on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Consumer Complaint Database.

What kind of Complaints have been made?

Of the 43 complaints made within the past 3 years, 10 were closed within the last 12 months. 36 of these complaints fall under billing and collections issues, whereas 7 of the complaints fall under problems with the product or service.

The complaints deal with a wide variety of issues. These range from issues with poor information management to consumers from the debt collection agency, to harassment and excessive phone calls and robocalls. There have also been complaints and reviews stating that the debt collection agency stooped to abuse and threatening language, threatening legal repercussions if the consumer did not pay on the debt, even if the debt was not verified.  If true, some of these allegations would be considered debt collection violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (RFDCPA).

Are the Practices of Alpha Recovery Corps Legal?

None of the practices stated in the complaints and reviews are considered legal. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt collectors have limitations set upon them that limit their collection practices. Per the FDCPA, debt collectors are unable to:

• Contact outside family, friends, and work
• Call excessively in the early morning, throughout the day, and late into the night
• Use verbal or physical abusive language and actions
• Utilize misinformation or a lack of verification to collect on a debt

As seen, Alpha Recovery Corps has been seen to breach each of the examples given above, which puts them at harassing and abusive levels that can be punishable by law.

How can I protect myself and fight back against Alpha Recovery Corps?

There are multiple ways you can protect yourself against such predators, like Alpha Recovery Corps. The first thing you can do is to verify the debt if you have been contacted. Verifying the debt should be relatively simple. Just ask for some form of authentication that shows that the debt is in your name. This can be a letter with the information, an online ID for the database search, or a number to call the original debt account. If they are unable to provide these for you, assume that they are not legitimate.

Another step to take is to hire a well-experienced and well-versed debt collection harassment attorney to help assist you against their abuse and harassing behavior.
