Collection agency settles suit over improper tactics

A Jacksonville collection agency agreed Wednesday to pay $21,000
in restitution to consumers victimized by improper debt collection
tactics, the Florida Attorney General's Office said.

Allen Lewis & Associates settled a lawsuit with the state
accusing company employees of impersonating police and lawyers,
falsely threatening criminal charges and repeatedly calling
debtors at work and home. The company and its owners, Robert Allen
Hecht and Rougina Hecht, violated state deceptive trade practices
laws and the federal Fair Debt Collection Act, state Attorney
General Bill McCollum said in a news release.

The company was contracted by payday lenders and musical instrument
rental companies to collect defaulted payments.

In addition to the restitution, the settlement requires the company
to reimburse the state $30,000 for investigation and litigation
costs and record all outgoing calls if more than six complaints
are received in a six-month period, McCollum said.

BIG TIME UPDATE!!!

I received a check from the Florida Division of Financial Services Saturday. In regards to Florida Attorney General Bill McCullums investigation into Allen, Lewis, and Associates. In a civil case against thier continual lies, and harassment, and impersonating lawyers, people were awarded checks because they were NAILED for disregarding the laws, and harrassing people. Now I want to see them shut down if it hasn't already happened. They deserve everything they get. If I am contacted again I will be filing a suit against them personally.

Thank you Attorney General for nailing a seriously crooked company. And thanks for the check, I consider it a Christmas bonus, with the real bonus being you caught these fools.
