Minnesota Feeding Grounds For Debt Collectors

Debt collectors have been focusing on Minnesota due to the very easy access to individual’s bank accounts without even proving in a court of law that the individual actually owes the money they are trying to collect. I recently read a story in the Minnesota Star Tribune that talked about a 55 year old janitor Van Tran who’s bank account was seized by a debt collector for a total of $8,016. This was all the money Mr. Tran had and to make matters worse he didn’t owe the money.

They had the wrong person! Mr. Tran was a victim of ID Theft and he even had the police reports to prove it in court. But the courts declined to make a ruling on his case and he left the court hearing very frustrated and emotionally crushed. This is happening to people all across this great country because they don’t have the financial resources to fight debt collectors in court so most of them end up losing their hard earned money.

There is a definite debt crisis going on and people need to know their rights. To read more about Mr. Tran’s story CLICK HERE!
