Who is MRS Associates/MRS BPO LLC? Is This A Scam?

MRS Associates is a third-party debt collection agency based out of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The agency was founded in 1991 and has more than five hundred employees. MRS Associates focuses on many types of debt from an array of industries in the United States, including the healthcare, telecom, retail, education, utilities, and financial services.

MRS Associates/MRS BPO LLC has received many consumer complaints claiming Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) violations. Some consumer reviews have accused MRS of making false statements or representations in pursuit of debt collection. Other examples of alleged violations include attempting to collect a debt not owed, contacting a third-party and sharing information improperly, and improper communication tactics.

Nonetheless, MRS Associates is not a scam and they are in fact an authorized debt collection agency. MRS purchases packages of debt from banks and other businesses, and then tries to collect the debt from consumers. If MRS has contacted you, it is important that you learn your rights and how best to protect yourself before offering any response.

What Are Common Complaints Against MRS Associates/MRS BPO LLC?

As of August 2019, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has received over 470 complaints related to the debt collection practices of MRS Associates/MRS BPO LLC. Examples of common complaints against MRS include trying to collect a debt not owed and improper communication tactics.

The following two real-world examples of complaints against MRS Associates illustrate these types of alleged violations.

Consumer alleges MRS uses improper communication tactics
“MRS Associates contacted me claiming to represent XXXX. I immediately did three things. First, I disputed the debt. The claim is not valid. Second, I requested written verification of the debt. Third, I requested they NOT call me at my work. The person on the phone was pretty silent…”
 
Consumer alleges attempts to collect a debt not owed
“Today XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by MRS about debt I owed XXXX that I never paid. I then contacted XXXX and they say I don’t owe them anything and they never contacted mrs to collect debt.”

What Actions Can MRS Associates/MRS BPO LLC Legally Take Against Me? Can They Sue Me Or Garnish My Wages?

As a debt collector, MRS Associates is not legally allowed to threaten to sue you, or threaten to garnish your wages. They are allowed to contact you via phone, text, or mail. However MRS cannot call you at inappropriate times including before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m.

Though they are not allowed to threaten lawsuit or wage garnishment, if you do not pay a valid debt owed to them, MRS may legally sue you in a court. If they get a default judgement against you in court, the judgement will state the amount you owe and allow them to garnish your wages for that amount. If you owe a debt to MRS Associates and are concerned with the possibility that they might garnish your wages, it would be wise to speak to an attorney before it gets to this point. Our attorneys have assisted countless consumers in fighting back against debt collector harassment and protecting themselves against wage garnishment.
