We Sue Abusive Debt Collectors™ 
Welcome to Barry & Slade, LLC, a Minnesota consumer rights law firm dedicated to the protection of consumers against abusive and illegal collection practices by debt collectors.  We end collection harassment.

Your Rights Under Federal Law
Debt collectors must treat you with truth, fairness, dignity, and respect.  Period.  Any debt collector who crosses the line and abuses you for the collection of a consumer debt can be sued in federal court for damages under a law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

Harassed, Oppressed, Abused, Or Mistreated By A Bill Collector In The Past Year?

Threatened with lawsuits, garnishment, liens, or arrest for not paying a bill?
Collection agency called your neighbors, friends, or employer?
Received abusive phone messages from bill collectors?
Sworn at or insulted by collection agents on the phone?
Called by a collection agency at your workplace after telling the collector not to call you there?
Lied to, threatened, harassed by a collector?

If you have suffered from any of these abusive bill collection practices, you may be entitled to compensation.  We can help any consumer who is currently in collections, or has suffered from collection harassment.

No Fee In Your Case Unless We Recover
The law says that any debt collector who violates your rights may be made to pay you statutory damages of up $1,000, actual damages, and attorney's fees and costs, if you win your FDCPA case.  If we agree to represent you in an FDCPA case, you won't pay any attorney's fees unless we recover on your behalf,  although you will be responsible for any other costs in your lawsuit. 

If you've been mistreated by a debt collector, call us today at (612) 379-8800.
