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.
