Otherwise you know it will pass for sure – most of them are lawyers (lieyars) anyway

If this FDCPA bill makes it way through, who and what now stands between the attorney and the alleged debtor? I have seen multitudes of violations committed by these dual functioning Attorney/Debt Collectors. Pass this bill and give them a free ride to violate everyone. If you think for a minute that these ‘law firms’ are acting just as an ‘Attorney’ when they are collecting on behalf of the alleged creditor, you are wrong. There is no doubt they are acting as a collection agency and need to be held to the same standards.

If this bill is allowed to pass, it will mean that foreclosure mills can file foreclosures without first having to prove that the debt is actually owed (debt validation) .. even as the law stands now, many foreclosure mills have ignored it, and filed wrongful foreclosures .. this has led to much grief and anguish for many people who have to try to fight these foreclosures by hiring attorneys (if they can afford one) .. and it has led to families being wrongfully evicted from their homes .. even some of our soldiers have come home to find that their home has been wrongfully foreclosed out from under them. Why do you think that all of the big banks are settling to pay billions of dollars ??? It is because wrongful foreclosures have been filed !!!

Why would we want to now pass a law that makes it even easier for the foreclosure mill crooks to do wrong ?? If anything, we should be strengthening the law. They should have to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and stop being predators on the people. Them and the banks just get to say “Ooops !”, pay a fine (billions are pennies to them), and then go on their merry way ??!!! IT IS WRONG !!

Contact your House Representatives and your Senators and let them know that you oppose H.R.6706 .. we need to hold our law makers accountable for what they do for their cronies !!!
Please act now before it is too late .. send an email, or a tweet, make a phone call .. please.
We must act now !!!
