Radius Global Solutions has a documented record of FDCPA violations. If any of these occur during your North Carolina collection dispute, document them and file immediately.
Steps customized for North Carolina law, auto loan debt rules, and Radius Global Solutions's collection patterns.
When a collector calls, get their name, company name, address, and what debt they're calling about. Do not confirm your address, employment, or that you owe anything. Ask them to send everything in writing.
Tell them: 'I prefer to communicate in writing. Please send all correspondence by mail.' This creates a paper trail and prevents manipulative phone tactics. You can legally require written communication.
Use your FDCPA § 1692g rights immediately. Send a certified validation letter demanding proof of the debt's validity, amount, original creditor, and collector's authority to collect.
Legal: send letters, call between 8am-9pm, file lawsuits. Illegal: threaten arrest, use profanity, call your employer after being told to stop, misrepresent the amount or legal status, contact third parties about your debt.
Log every call: date, time, phone number, and everything said. Save every letter. Keep all certified mail receipts. This documentation is your evidence if violations occur or the debt goes to court.
These strategies apply to auto loan debt specifically. Auto loans are secured debt — the lender can repossess. However, deficiency balances after repossession can be disputed, especially if the sale wasn't commercially reasonable.
