I need to know if anyone has actually stopped Performant Financial from harassing them. I’m getting calls constantly, sometimes 10+ a day. They called my job after I explicitly asked them not to, and they left a voicemail with my elderly mother that implied I was going to be arrested. I’m barely sleeping.
I just read through this breakdown of what they are doing wrong, and it seems like a lot of their tactics might violate the FDCPA, especially the threats and the workplace calls: https://protectionforconsumers.com/how-to-stop-performant-financial-debt-collection-harassment/
I sent a debt validation letter last week, but the calls haven't stopped. Has anyone here sent a formal cease and desist letter to Performant? Did it actually make them stop, or did they just get worse? I am trying to avoid a lawsuit, but I can't live like this anymore. Any advice from someone who has been through it would help.
