AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC Lawsuits
If you want to know just how unhappy consumers are with AscensionPoint Recovery Services, take a look at the number of lawsuits filed against the agency on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”). PACER is the U.S.’s federal docket which lists federal complaints filed against a wide range of companies. A search for AscensionPoint Recovery will display 5 lawsuits filed against the agency in 4 states for violations of consumer rights and/or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC Complaints
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law which applies to everyone in the United States. In other words, everyone is protected under the FDCPA, and this Act is a laundry list of what debt collectors can and cannot do while collecting a debt, as well as things they must do while collecting debt. If AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC is harassing you over a debt, you have rights under the FDCPA.The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects you from robocalls, which are those annoying, automated, recorded calls that computers make all day long. You can tell it’s a robocall because either no one responds on the other end of the line, or there is a delay when you pick up the phone before a live person responds. You can receive $500 per call if AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC violates the TCPA. Have you received a message from this agency that sounds pre-recorded or cut-off at the beginning or end? These are tell-tale signs that the message is pre-recorded, and if you have these messages on your cell phone, you may have a TCPA case against the agency.The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) protects electronic payments that are deducted from bank accounts. If AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC took unauthorized deductions from your bank account, you may have an EFTA claim against the agency. AscensionPoint, like most collection agencies, wants to set up recurring payments from consumers; imagine how much money it can earn if hundreds, even thousands, of consumers electronically pay them $50 – $100 or more per month. If you agreed to this type of reoccurring payment, the agency must follow certain steps to comply with the EFTA. Did AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC continue to take electronic payments after you told them to stop? Did they take more money from your checking account than you agreed to? If so, we can discuss your rights and potential case under the EFTA.The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) works to ensure that no information reported to your credit report is false. In essence, it gives you the right to dispute those inaccuracies that you find on your credit report. We’ve handled many cases in which a debt collection agency reported debt on a consumer’s credit report to obtain leverage over the consumer. If AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC is on your credit report, they may tell you that they’ll remove the debt from your credit report if you pay it; this is commonly known as “pay for delete.” If the original creditor is on your report rather than the debt collector, and you pay off the debt, both entities should accurately report this on your credit report.Several states also have laws to provide its citizens an additional layer of protection. For example, if you live in California, Florida, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, or Wisconsin, you may be able to add a state-law claim to your federal law claim above. North Carolina, for example, has one of the most consumer-friendly statutes in the country: if you live in NC and are harassed over a debt, you may receive $500 – $4,000 in damages per violation. We work with a local counsel in NC and our NC clients have received some great results in debt collection harassment cases. If you live in North Carolina and are being harassed by a debt collector, you have leverage to obtain a great settlement.

For example, under the FDCPA, you may receive up to $1,000 in damages plus actual damages. The FDCPA also has a fee-shift provision, which means the debt collector will pay your attorneys’ fees and costs. If you have a TCPA case against the agency, we will handle it based on a contingency fee and you won’t pay us a dime unless you win.THAT’S NOT ALL…We have helped hundreds of consumers stop phone calls from AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC and we know how to stop the harassment and get you money damages.

What if AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC is on my Credit Report?
Based on our experience, some debt collectors may credit-report, which means one may mark your credit report with the debt they are trying to collect. In addition to or instead of the debt collector, the original creditor may also be on your credit report in a separate entry, and it’s important to properly identify these entities because you will want both to update your credit report if or when you pay off the debt.THE GOOD NEWS IS…The good news is that if AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC is on your credit report, we can help you dispute it. Mistakes on your credit report can be very costly: along with causing you to pay higher interest rates, you may be denied credit, insurance, a rental home, a loan, or even a job because of these mistakes. Some mistakes may include someone else’s information on your credit report, inaccurate public records, stale collection accounts, or even being a victim of identity theft. If you have a mistake on your credit report, there is a process to dispute it, and my office will help you obtain your credit report and dispute any inaccurate information.REMEMBER…Remember: if a credit reporting agency violates its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you may be entitled to statutory damages up to $1,000, and the credit reporting agency will be required to fix the error. The FCRA also has a fee-shift provision, which means the credit reporting agency will pay your attorneys’ fees and costs. You won’t owe us a dime for our services. We have helped hundreds of consumers fix inaccurate information on their credit reports, and we’re ready to help you, too.
Complaints against AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC
If you’re on this page, chances are you are just like the hundreds of consumers out there being harassed by AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC. Here are some of the BBB reviews and complaints against AscensionPoint:
- “This company has called my grandmother several times per day in an alleged attempt to collect a debt attached to the estate of my deceased grandfather. They have also sent a letter. I attempted to contact the company and when the phone was picked up, the person on the other line refused to speak and hung up when I stated the reason for my call. My grandmother and I have both requested that they stop calling. They have also reached out to family members with the same request.”
- “My mother passed away last month. She had minimal credit card debt and those debtors have been notified of her passing and the pending estate case that will handle those debts. This company contacted my ex mother in law and demanded payment for a debt, but would not specify the creditor’s name. They threatened her with criminal and civil actions. I returned their call and they did the same to me. Her debtors are aware of her passing and both deny reporting this debt to this collection agency. There is no valid debt for them to collect.”
- “Annoying phone calls and letters requesting information about deceased husband’s estate and outstanding bills owed. There are no outstanding bills on the estate thus I believe this is phishing or a harassment to collect private financial information.”
Based on 4 reviews on Google AscensionPoint received a 1-out-of-5 rating. Here are some of the reviews on Google:
- “Shady as all get out! My sister passed away and we did everything correct. Call where she owed money, got the address as to where to send the death certificate and so on. A few weeks later I get a call saying they are trying to collect her debt. It was a month to the day that she passed. Not like people who lose a family member have enough to deal with and then have some shady company trying to prey on people who do not know any better. Disgusting!!!!”
- “Shame on this company. They called less than a month after my mother passed away without any debt demanding I pay them for an unnamed creditor.”
- “Such a scam! If you are receiving calls from this agency, HANG UP! They call constantly, and are very UNTRUE in their claims! Do not pay them a penny. They also try to trick you into calling them back. Such bad business! Shame on them.”

Can AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC Sue Me?
Although anyone can sue anyone for any reason, we have not seen AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC sue consumers, and it’s likely that the agency does not sue because they don’t always own the debt they are attempting to collect, and would also need to hire a lawyer, or use in-house counsel, to file a lawsuit. It’s also likely that the agency collects debt throughout the country, and it would be quite difficult to have lawyers, or a law firm, licensed in every state. However, there are collection agencies that do sue consumers; for example, Midland Credit Management is one of the largest junk-debt buyers, and it also collects and sues on debt. Still, it is less likely for a debt collector to sue you than for an original creditor to hire a lawyer or collection firm to sue you. If AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC has threatened to sue you, contact Mike Agruss Law as soon as possible.
Can AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC Garnish my Wages?
No, unless they have a judgment. If AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC has not sued you, then the agency cannot get a judgment. Barring limited situations (usually involving debts owed to the government for student loans, taxes, etc.), a company must have a judgment in order to garnish someone’s wages. In short, we have not seen this agency file a lawsuit against a consumer, so the agency cannot garnish your wages, minus the exceptions listed above. If AscensionPoint Recovery Services, LLC has threatened to garnish your wages, contact our office right away.
