Consumer rights are being violated everyday by "Junk Debt Buyers" in Maryland. Evidence has shown that many unsubstantiated claims and or claims for debts not owed have been filed in Maryland. Using the courts against consumers to force them to pay debts not owed has become common place. The Bar Journal article brings some focus on the inadequate remedy that consumers have been dealt. Tens of thousands of unqualified judgments have been INDEXED against Maryland consumers, weakening families unnecessarily and hurting our economy over meritless claims for debts not owed.
