A consumer says that Caliber Home Loans Inc shares private information with third parties during its debt collection process in violation of federal law in a class action lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Lead plaintiff, Terry Tannenbaum, seeks to represent consumers nationwide in his class action lawsuit filed in Florida federal court. Tannenbaum says that Caliber Home Loans discloses private debt-related information to unauthorized third parties as a part of its debt collection process in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Tannenbaum, a Florida resident, says that he was sent multiple debt collection letters from Caliber Home Loans over his past due mortgage. Tannenbaum says he noticed that the letters were not sent directly from Caliber Home Loans, but a third-party vendor.
The letters contained statements referring to debt collection, including a statement that Caliber disclosed information about the plaintiff’s debt to third parties, including account and payment information, and even personal information, such as his social security number.
In addition, Tannenbaum alleges that he received calls from another third-party vendor about his loan. He says that Caliber Home Loans also shared his information with this company.
The class action lawsuit alleges that sharing Tannenbaum and other consumers’ information with third parties puts Caliber Home Loans in violation of the FDCPA.
The FDCPA was enacted to protect consumers from “abusive debt collection practices.” In addition to prohibiting the use of deceptive and unfair debt collection practices by lenders, the FDCPA limits the information lenders can share about debtors.
“The harm Plaintiff alleges here—disclosure of private information of a personal, sensitive nature to third-party vendors—is precisely the type of abusive debt collection practice that the FDCPA was designed to prevent,” alleges the class action lawsuit.
Tannenbaum seeks to represent a nationwide Class of consumers who were sent a debt collection letter by Caliber Home Loans through a third-party vendor over the past year. The class action lawsuit wants to put a stop to the sharing of private information by Caliber Home Loans to third parties as part of its debt collection process. In addition, the plaintiff is seeking damages on behalf of the Class.

They are trying to foreclose my home on payments that I have been making every month.
My fiance’s family is going through the exact same thing in North Carolina! We need help!
I sent an email but I’m on a cell phone and it may not have gone though. I was in the mortgage business for 30 years and the state president of a professional association in my state and I tracked what and how they did it and the other companies involved. I will be happy to talk with you but I may not want to join a class action suit. I want a lot more than a settlement I want the whole amount they took from me and I want to litterly put them and the other companies that were part of the conspiracy out of business. Their are laws that they probably broke that allow for that. Please contact me.
