Consumer Attorney in Atlanta, Georgia
Protecting Debtors from Abusive Debt Collectors
Have you been subjected to seemingly endless harassment from creditors or bill collectors? Have you tried to negotiate a payment arrangement that works for you, only to have collection agencies contacting your friends, relatives, employers or others, or calling you repeatedly at all times of the day or night? Has a debt collector misrepresented the amount you owe, threatened you with arrest or jail, or filed a lawsuit against you?
If you have been the victim of debt collection abuse, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests. At The Koval Firm, we have protected the rights of consumers throughout the Atlanta metro area in cases involving debt collection abuse for over two decades. We know the tactics employed by debt collectors in an effort to intimidate you. Our lawyer has a comprehensive understanding of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and of Georgia laws that both provide affirmative protection for debtors.

What is Debt Collections Abuse?
We protect you from abusive action by debt collectors, including law firms, collection agencies and their employees and agents. We have a comprehensive understanding of the federal and state laws governing debt collectors and will gather the evidence necessary to support a claim based on debt collection abuse, including letters or tape-recorded messages.
We will help protect your rights when there have been violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, such as
- harassing or abusive phone calls or letters
- inappropriate contact with friends, relatives, employers or others
- lawsuits filed after the statute of limitations has run or after a debt has been discharged in bankruptcy
- threats of arrest or incarceration
- misrepresentation of the terms of a debt, including the amount
- lawsuits filed against you for a debt you never owed
Under the FDCPA, the debt collector is responsible for the payment of your attorney fees if there is a result in your favor. When we take your case, we do not charge legal fees up front, and only if we win.
