On April 1 the Attorney General of Massachusetts put new restrictions making illegal for debt collectors to start or threaten to start new collection lawsuits, to make certain demands for payment, and from contacting your place of employment. The new restrictions are expected to be in place through June 25 and are part of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (93A).
If you are contacted by a debt collector during this time, you can likely sue to recover damages and may be able to wipe out the debt. All successful claims under the statute require the debt collector to pay your attorney fees and court costs. If you live in Massachusetts and are contacted by a debt collector between April 1 and June 25, 2020 contact Northeast Law Group, LLC for a free consultation to have your case reviewed and see if you are entitled to relief.
