It was established in 1943, concentrates on rental debt collections, and holds a decently sized staff.<\/p>\n<p>Records archived at the PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) website validate that Federal Adjustment Bureau Inc has been accused of violating the FDCPA when trying to accumulate delinquent rents.<\/p>\n<p>James Welton v. Federal Adjustment Bureau, Inc d\/b\/a FABCO<\/p>\n<p>Sometime before November 2014, Ohio resident James Welton brings upon himself a personal debt that was offered to Federal Adjustment Bureau Inc for collection.<\/p>\n<p>The agency allegedly established contact at his workplace through the mail letter that was read by another member of staff. Mr. Welton felt offended because he had never permitted the agency to contact him at his workplace, nor had he offered the agency with any employer information.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the letter did not confirm his location but, rather, declared that Mr. Welton owed a debt.<\/p>\n<p>After this, he emailed the agency to place a request that they should stop contacting him. But, they allegedly kept on calling him. Upset, he decided to hire a consumer attorney and file a complaint accusing the Federal Adjustment Bureau Inc. of the following FDCPA violations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Revealing to a third party that a debt is owed by him<\/li>\n<li>Disclosing to a third party that the announcement was made in relation to the collection of a debt<\/li>\n<li>Establishment of communication with a third party without his permission<\/li>\n<li>Make contact with him after getting a written notification to close down communications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The issue was later on resolved.<\/p>\n<p>The phone numbers for Federal Adjustment Bureau Inc<\/p>\n<p>1-614-538-5600<\/p>\n<p>1-800-669-5010<\/p>\n<p>If these numbers appear on your phone screen, a company\u2019s agent might be trying to contact you for a debt.<\/p>\n<p>The FDCPA forbids debt collectors from communicating with uninvolved third parties for any purpose other than locating you, so if they make others aware of your debt, contact with a professional debt consultant.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to take legal action against Federal Adjustment Bureau Inc, you could be granted $1,000 per FDCPA violation, as well as attorney fees, court costs, and any authentic damages that you may have endured.<\/p>\n<p>When a debt collector breaches your rights, a professional help can get you the\u00a0compensation you are worthy of.<\/p>\n<p>*Case has been taken from PACER (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacer.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.pacer.gov<\/a>).
