Who Is Weber & Olcese?
Weber & Olcese, PLC is a Michigan law firm founded in 1996 by Jeffrey Weber and Michael Olcese. Its website lists a mailing address of P.O. Box 7122, Troy, Michigan 48007, and a toll-free number of (866) 816-8118. Besides Michigan, the firm says it provides services in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia.
The firm's practice covers retail and commercial debt collection, along with insurance defense, professional liability and subrogation work. Its site includes the standard notice that its communications come from a debt collector, and says it communicates in English and Spanish.
Why Weber & Olcese May Be Contacting You
For consumers, the most likely reason is a retail account: a store card, a consumer loan or another unpaid balance that a creditor referred to the firm. Since Weber & Olcese also does subrogation, a letter could instead concern money an insurer says it is owed after paying a claim, for example after a car accident. Those two situations are very different, so read the letter carefully to see which one applies and who the client is.
The firm doesn't list Texas among its states, though Colorado and Georgia are on its list. If you live in Texas and receive a letter, check whether the account comes from a time you lived elsewhere.
How to Check a Debt Weber & Olcese Says You Owe
- Get the validation notice and keep the envelope. The notice must spell out the creditor, the itemized balance and your dispute deadline (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
- Dispute in writing if you don't recognize it. Ask for the account agreement and statements, or, for a subrogation claim, the insurer's payment records and the basis for saying you're responsible.
- Ask who holds the account now. A retail account may have been sold since you last paid. Ask the firm to name the current owner.
- Check the math. Compare the principal with your last statement and ask what any added interest or charges are based on.
- Mind the clock. In Texas, most suits on a debt must be filed within four years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers may not sue on consumer debts past that period (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). Michigan and the other states the firm covers have different rules.
What Weber & Olcese Can and Can't Do
Attorneys who regularly collect consumer debts are debt collectors under the FDCPA, including when they file suit (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)). Purely commercial debts aren't covered by the FDCPA, but a consumer retail account is. When collecting one, the firm:
- May not use false, deceptive or misleading statements, such as overstating what happens if you don't pay (15 U.S.C. § 1692e).
- May not discuss your debt with your employer, neighbors or relatives, except to locate you (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(b)).
- Must follow Regulation F's call-frequency limit of seven calls in seven days per account (12 C.F.R. § 1006.14(b)(2)).
- Must sue only in the proper venue (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
