Did Debt Collector Fake Suicide Call? |
February 09, 2012
When Anne Sessions, 85, of Lane County, Ore., fell behind in her credit card payments, she said an aggressive debt collector harrassed her to the point of calling the police with a phony claim she threated to commit suicide, costing her $1,055 in medical bills. Now she is suing for $250,000 over the incident which led to an involuntary hospital visit.
Sessions fell behind on her credit card payments in 2010 after making regular payments for years due to unanticipated financial setbacks, potentially facing foreclosure. As she survived on a fixed income from social security and a "very modest" pension, she was strapped.
