Common Consumer Rights Violations by Comenity Bank

Even though consumers have sued Comenity Bank for mistreatment of debtors, they continue to harass debtors like you. Some of the state and federal laws Comenity bank and third-party debt collectors violate include the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and California’s Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (RFDCPA).

Violations of consumer rights may look like:

• Obscene or abusive language on phone calls
• Treats of violence
• False claims that a lawsuit will be filed
• Repeated calling an unreasonable number of times
• Calls that are extremely early or late (before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.)
• Discussing debt with unauthorize parties

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that it receives more than 200,000 complaints about debtor harassment against creditors like Comenity Bank annually.

Federal Laws Protect Debtors Like You

There are federal laws that protect consumers who owe money to banks and other creditors. Those include the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

The FDCPA protects consumers against unfair collection practices and harassment. Violations should be reported to the FTC, which may impose consequences on those companies. Under the FDCPA, you can get statutory compensation if you are harassed by debt collectors.

The TCPA addresses the way telephone marketers and debt collectors treat consumers. It also allows the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate the national Do-Not-Call List.

State Laws Protect Consumers Who Owe Money

Most states have consumer protection laws that mirror or go beyond federal laws. For example, California’s Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (RFDCPA) mandates that creditors treat debtors with fairness and honesty. Violations of the RFDCPA can result in statutory compensation and damages for emotional distress.

How Much Is My Eddie Bauer Credit Card Lawsuit Worth?

If you have an Eddie Bauer credit card and Comenity Bank or their third-party collection agencies are harassing you, you may be able to get monetary compensation. The exact value of your claim depends on:

• The severity of the creditors’ legal violations
• The number of times laws were violated
• Your actual damages

The FDCPA is a federal law that allows you to get up to $1,000 in statutory compensation if you are harassed by creditors. You can also get money for attorney fees and court costs.

Many state laws allow you to get even more compensation than federal laws permit. California’s RFDCPA allows consumers to get emotional damages, which have reached up to $300,000 in past cases.
