What is Patients Accounts Bureau?
Patients Accounts Bureau (PAB) has been in the debt collection business for over 40 years. The name makes them seem like they’re a governmental agency, but they are nothing more than a debt collection agency that deals with mostly medical debts. PAB is a trade name (a DBA) for Hollis Cobb Associates, their actual name. Below is their address and phone number:
Hollis Cobb Associates
Patients Accounts Bureau
3175 Satellite Blvd
STE 400 Bldg 600
Duluth, GA 30096-9040
Phone: (678) 969-7800
What do google reviews say about Patients Accounts Bureaus?
It’s one thing for us to tell you that Patients Accounts Bureau has a history of engaging in abusive and deceptive collection tactics, but Google reviews of PAB speak for themselves.
The customers in each of these reviews have claims under the FDCPA (the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act). Rather than go to Google to review Patients Accounts Bureau, press your claim against them in federal court to get the compensation that you are entitled to under the law.
What type of harassment may Patients Accounts Bureau engage in?
If PAB does any of the following to you over the phone, you may have a claim against them under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:
- If the debt collector fails to identify itself as a debt collector and tell you that the call is an attempt to collect a debt and anything you say will be used for that purpose.
- If a debt collector threatens you with violent threats or with charging you criminal action.
- If a debt collector engages in the use of any profanity or obscene language or speech in their communications with you.
- If a debt collector makes any false or misleading representations that the debt collector represents a state or federal government
- If a debt collector gives you any misleading information on the amount or legal status of a debt (for example – if a debt was discharged in bankruptcy, they cannot tell you that you still owe a debt)
- If a debt collector falsely implies that they are an attorney, governmental entity, or law enforcement.
- If a debt collector threatens you with imprisonment or criminal charges
- If a debt collector makes excessive calls to your phone
- If a debt collector disclosures your debt to any third party
- If a debt collector calls you after you specify to communicate with them only through writing
- If a debt collector continues to communicate with you after being informed that you are represented by legal counsel.
- If a debt collector has called your job in an attempt to collect a debt from you while knowing that your job does not allow those types of calls.
- If a debt collector threatens to garnish your wages.
What will it cost me to press my claim against Patients Accounts Bureau?
If you hire us, nothing. We get our fees paid by the debt collector when we file a lawsuit against them. There are no upfront fees for consultations or if you hire us to handle your case.
What compensation may I be entitled to?
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you could be entitled to up to $1,000 plus your actual damages.
Will my attorney take a percentage of a settlement or judgment?
Not us. You may be used to hearing about personal injury cases where attorneys take about 33% or more of your settlement money or a judgment. This is a different type of case. This type of claim is called a fee-shifting claim where attorney’s fees can be obtained from a prevailing plaintiff.
