If you’ve been receiving persistent and unwanted phone calls from Pan AM Collections, you’re not alone—and you’re not without legal protection. The Consumer Law Firm Centre is here to support individuals who are facing harassment from debt collectors like Pan AM Collections. Our team is committed to helping consumers understand their rights and stop collection abuse immediately.
Understanding Who Pan AM Collections Is
Pan AM Collections is a third-party debt collection agency based in Bloomington, Illinois. Their primary role is to recover unpaid debts on behalf of original creditors. While they are a legitimate business that has been operating for over eight years, their communication tactics have frequently been the subject of consumer complaints. Some of these complaints involve harassment, threats, and misleading statements that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Signs You’re Being Harassed by Pan AM Collections
If you’re receiving multiple calls a day, threatening voicemails, or if Pan AM Collections is contacting your friends or family about your debt, they may be breaking the law. These tactics are not only invasive but are also considered illegal under consumer protection laws. Examples of possible harassment include:
- Excessive or aggressive phone calls
- Failing to acknowledge disputed debts
- Attempting to collect inaccurate or non-existent debts
- Ignoring requests for debt verification
- Threatening wage garnishment without proper legal backing
What You Should Know Before Paying Pan AM Collections
Before making any payments, it’s crucial to verify the legitimacy of the debt. Many consumers feel pressured to pay simply to stop the calls, but doing so without proper documentation can be a mistake. You have the right to request written proof of the debt, and Pan AM Collections is legally obligated to provide it.
If the debt is found to be invalid, or if the collection agency fails to verify it, they are not permitted to pursue you further. At the Consumer Law Firm Centre, we can help you formally dispute the debt and take action against any continued harassment.
Can Pan AM Collections Garnish My Wages or Sue Me?
Yes, but only under specific conditions. Pan AM Collections can garnish wages if the debt involves a federal student loan or if they obtain a court judgment. They can also take legal action against you, but this must be done within the statute of limitations for debt collection in your state. If you are sued, you have the right to legal representation—and that’s where we come in.
The Role of Bankruptcy in Debt Collection
If you are experiencing extreme financial hardship, filing for bankruptcy can provide immediate relief. Bankruptcy can halt ongoing collection efforts by Pan AM Collections and provide a legal framework for managing or eliminating your debts. Our firm can guide you through this complex process and help you determine whether bankruptcy is the right choice for your situation.
Past Legal Cases Against Pan AM Collections
There have been several lawsuits filed against Pan AM Collections for unlawful collection practices. Cases such as Ontiveros v. Pan AM Collections, Tripp v. Pan AM Collections, and Kopp v. Pan AM Collections highlight the legal challenges they have faced due to consumer complaints. These cases serve as a reminder that legal action is possible when rights are violated.
