A California consumer owed a debt. In an effort to collect on the debt, the debt collector tricked the consumer's cellular telephone provider to give the debt collector the password to the consumer's cellular web account. The debt collector was able to access the names and telephone numbers of the consumers friends, family, and business associates - people the consumer called or who called the consumer. The debt collector then began to call the consumers friends, family, and business associates, and claimed the debt collector was "investigating" the consumer because the consumer refused to pay debts owed. We were able to recover for the consumer in an amount over $100,000.
