In 2017, an individual submitted HIPAA validation letter to the firm for an account listed on the credit report. The consumer mentioned they want to have a proof with their signature on it giving permission to the medical facility to share their information with third-party debt collectors. In response, all they got was a bill without their signature. The consumer requested to get the debt removed the report because of lack of validation.

An individual stated that several collections were mentioned on their credit reports. The problem was they had no idea about it until they saw it on the credit report. The consumer felt violated by this action of PMAB. It is not legal to add wrong information on the credit report without informing the consumer or giving them a chance to agree.

Another consumer stated that negative items were added to the credit report. Due to this, they were unable to get a loan. They requested PMAB to remove these items from their report.

A consumer mentioned that they were not notified about the debt collection. The family members and friends of the consumer were notified. This is a violation of FDCPA practices. When the consumer contacted PMAB to resolve the issue – the company failed to prove that the debt belonged to the consumer. The illegal practices and unethical behavior caused a lot of trouble to the consumer.

A user stated that an unknown account was opened on their credit report. According to the consumer, they never conducted any business with PMAB. They requested the company to correct this error and remove this account from their CRA accounts.

How to Know if the Debt Collection Agency Calling You is Scam?

When you get a call from PMAB LLC, do not panic and remain very calm. Do not lose your wits as debt collectors very much count on that. To tell whether a debt collector is legitimate, follow these few tricks:


  • Instead of the so-called debt collector asking you questions, make sure you start asking them questions as well. Ask for more information, which company they belong to, what their company name and logo is, etc. Make sure not to confirm any information like your bank account number or where you live. Ask them what the debt is about and which company has issued it and what the basis for the debt is. If they cannot provide you with any reasons or do not provide you with their company name or number, that should set off some red flags.
  • As soon as you receive your first call from the PMAB LLC, you should receive a written confirmation of the debt from them. The letter should include the debt collection agency name, it should have a few of your rights listed, a mailing address, etc.
  • Do your research. There are times when the debt collecting agency may be legitimate but not your debt. They tend to make mistakes. Search on Google for the company and verify whether it is an actual debt collection agency. Check your state attorney general’s office to check whether this agency is verified and is licensed. You may also find the number of complaints filed against this debt collection agency. Moreover, once you know that the debt collecting agency is legitimate, contact them, because sometimes some people may pretend to be working with the collection agency.
  • Check your credit report. You will get a quick view of the debts you owe, to whom you owe, how much you owe and the like. If someone calls you out of the blue to tell you that you have some unpaid debt and it is not mentioned on the credit report, chances are that it is a scam.
  • Check the statute of limitations. If it has expired, the PMAB LLC cannot ask you to pay stale debt. Do not reaffirm anything verbally which may lead you to restart the stale debt.

Understand Your Debt Collection Rights and Fight PMAB LLC

When PMAB LLC comes knocking at your door, the first thing to do is to search for your rights in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 1977. This statute was specifically enacted to protect consumers from illegal actions taken by debt collection agencies such as harassment, threatening to sue, threatening family members, coming to your home in disguise, etc. The key provisions of the FDCPA 1977 are:

  • Protection against harassment: abusive phone calls, excessive phone calls, threats, violence.
  • You have the right to sue either the whole debt collecting company or just the individual
  • You can ask for proof of debt
  • You can ban debt collectors from calling you at inconvenient times or at work. You can even ban them altogether.
  • They CANNOT blab about your debt to other people. The debt should remain between you and the debt collection agency.

When PMAB LLC contacts a consumer for the first time, they have to give them a ‘mini-Miranda’ which is basically a full disclosure. In the ‘mini-Miranda’ the consumer must be told of their right to dispute the debt, the name of the company, the amount and the right of the consumer to ask for verification of the debt. They have to send you all of this information in writing 5 days after the call.

If a consumer decides to dispute the debt, they have to make sure to send a letter in writing to the PMAB LLC collection agency. The letter must be sent within 30 days of the call. Till then the calls and messages from the collectors must halt. Once your debt is verified, the company will continue the collection of the amount. If not, they must cease to collect the amount.

If the company badgers you with constant calls at inconvenient times or at work, you can send them a cease communication letter. They cannot contact you during the specified time you mention, can only contact through letters or you can ask them to stop contacting at all. If they have to contact, it will only be to tell you whether the debt has been finished or whether the creditor is filing a law suit against the consumer.

If PMAB LLC uses abusive or threatening language or harm the consumer in any way, it is illegal under federal law. They cannot call you to abuse you, use profane or offensive language, threaten you or your property or your family. They are not allowed to call the consumer or their family from different numbers, silent phone calls or anything of the like is also illegal.

If anyone from debt collection agency shows up to your home in the uniform of a police officer or claim to be an attorney of the creditor, that is completely illegal. Moreover any kinds of threats to seize the consumer’s property or other assets or have them thrown to jail is also illegal.

Avoid sending personal checks. This may give debt collectors your routing number and account number, allowing them to take out money as they please.

It is important to know your rights.

What you have to remember about debt collecting companies

The reason why debt collectors are hired is because they are persuasive, almost to the point where it starts counting as harassment and threatening. Since many people do not know of their rights against debt collecting agencies, they feel pressured to pay off the debt and become broke or depressed.

Something which you need to know is that it is in the debt collector’s best interests that they pressure you enough to crack you and get you to pay money. This is because your creditor who hires them pays them on commission basis. The earlier they get the money out of you, the higher the commission they get. If you do not pay your debt, your creditor may fire them. Which is why at times debt collectors may even accept a small amount just so they can get their commission quickly.
