A Soldier in the United States Military gets $8000.00 from a debt collector for FDCPA

In this Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) case, the debt collector, a national debt collection firm, called this debtor, a soldier in the Armed Services for the United States, and spoke to the soldier and his superior officer about the alleged delinquent debt.  Debt collectors know how sensitive soldiers are about their credit since bad credit can affect security cleanance as well as their longevity in the Armed Services.  The soldier had saved a voice mail of the debt collector.  The soldier was very concerned that this alleged debt would affect his livelihood.  The case was settled for $8000.00 as well as the the debt collector agreeing to cease collection activity and send it back to the original creditor.
