Why Faloni Law Group May Be Contacting You

Faloni Law Group says its clients include financial institutions, hospitals and businesses. Its consumer collection page lists the kinds of debts it pursues for creditors: credit card balances, medical bills, personal loans, auto loans and utility bills. Its banking page adds defaulted loans, business loans, and overdraft fees and negative account balances owed to banks.

A letter from the firm may be a pre-suit demand, or it may come after a lawsuit has been filed. The firm also offers judgment enforcement, so a letter can concern a judgment that was already entered.

How to Check a Debt Faloni Law Group Says You Owe

When a lawyer is collecting, the first questions are whether there's already a case and who the plaintiff is.

  • Check for a lawsuit or judgment. Search the court's records in the state where you lived. If there is a judgment you never knew about, ask how and where you were served.
  • Use the validation notice. Dispute in writing within the validation period and the firm must verify the debt before continuing (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
  • Ask for the account records. For a card or loan, request the agreement and the charge-off statement. For a medical bill, request the itemized bill and insurance history. For a bank overdraft, ask for the account statements that show how the negative balance arose.
  • Confirm the client's identity. Ask whether the plaintiff is the original bank, hospital or business, or a later owner of the account.
  • Check the time limit. Texas allows four years to sue on most consumer debts (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers cannot sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania have different limits.

What Faloni Law Group Can and Can't Do

Attorneys who regularly collect consumer debts, including through lawsuits, are "debt collectors" under the FDCPA (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)). For Faloni's consumer accounts:

  • Its court filings and letters cannot misstate the amount or character of the debt (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)(A)).
  • It cannot collect attorney fees unless your contract or a statute allows them (15 U.S.C. § 1692f(1)). See fees collectors can add.
  • It must sue in the judicial district where you live or where you signed the contract (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
  • It cannot contact you directly once it knows you have a lawyer for the debt (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(2)).
