17 debt collection complaints were sent to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau about Primus Law PC from November 13, 2023 to November 12, 2026. A complaint is a consumer's account, not a finding that the company broke the law. Read the complaints in the CFPB database.

Who Is Primus Law?

Primus Law PC is a law firm whose website lists a mailing address of PO Box 25727 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The home page carries a short notice: "Primus Law now represents Express Recovery. The Law Office of Edwin Parry has closed." In other words, Primus Law appears to handle legal work for Express Recovery Services, a Utah collection agency that collects mainly for health care and utility clients, after the earlier law office stopped operating.

We did not find a CFPB enforcement action against Primus Law.

Why Primus Law May Be Contacting You

The firm's website is short. Beyond online payments and a contact page, it has a garnishments page with forms for employers and banks served with a Utah writ of garnishment, and for defendants who want to claim exemptions or request a hearing. That suggests most of the firm's consumer contacts concern a collection lawsuit or a judgment in Utah, often on an account Express Recovery was handling, such as a medical or utility bill.

If you lived in Utah before moving to Texas, a letter from Primus Law may refer to a case or judgment from that time.

How to Check a Debt Primus Law Says You Owe

• Ask for the validation notice, which must name the creditor, itemize the balance and give a dispute deadline (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
• Dispute in writing within that period, and ask which provider or utility the account started with and whether Express Recovery or the provider owns it.
• Look up the case. If the firm mentions a judgment or garnishment, get the court and case number and check whether you were served.
• Check interest and costs added after the original bill or judgment, and compare with your insurance records for any medical charges.
• Think about timing. Texas generally allows four years to sue on a debt (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers may not sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). Utah's limitation periods are different, and judgments last longer than open accounts.

What Primus Law Can and Can't Do

Attorneys who regularly collect consumer debts through letters or litigation are "debt collectors" under the FDCPA (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)). For a firm whose work centers on suits and garnishments:

• A Utah judgment generally must be domesticated in a Texas court before it can be enforced against property in Texas, and Texas generally does not allow wage garnishment for consumer debts. See whether a creditor can garnish wages in Texas.
• It may not threaten to garnish or seize property that is exempt (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(4)).
• It must file suit in the county where you live or signed the contract (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
• It may not collect interest or fees not authorized by contract, statute or judgment (15 U.S.C. § 1692f(1)).

We Sue Debt Collectors That Break the FDCPA

Texas Debt Law files Fair Debt Collection Practices Act lawsuits against debt collectors in federal court for consumers in Texas, California, Illinois, Georgia and Colorado. If Primus Law or anyone collecting for it harassed you, misstated what you owe, threatened action it could not take, or told others about your debt, you may have a claim. A court can order a collector that violated the FDCPA to pay your actual damages, up to $1,000 in additional statutory damages, and your attorney's fees and costs (15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)). An FDCPA claim generally must be filed within one year of the violation (§ 1692k(d)), so keep your letters, call logs, voicemails and screenshots, and talk to us early. Texas residents may also have claims under the Texas Debt Collection Act. Learn more from our FDCPA attorneys.
