Harassed By Debt Collectors? The Law Is On Your Side — And So Are We.

Last updated on April 10, 2025

Debt collectors have legal guidelines that they must follow in their line of work. These guidelines are spelled out in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act but yet, many debt collectors routinely violate this act. Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act include:

  • Harassing you
  • Making false or misleading statements about what will happen if you do not pay a debt
  • Charging unauthorized fees
  • Calling early in the morning or late at night
  • Calling your relatives or employer

Don’t let this continue to happen — Ed Shaw Law can help. Ed Shaw is the only lawyer in the Brainerd area who handles Fair Debt Collection Practices Act cases. Our attorneys have over 50 years of combined experience in bankruptcy court helping people in financial trouble in Minnesota.

How Our Attorneys Can Help​

When debt collectors violate the law we can make them pay cash to you. We will charge you no fees or costs unless we win your case. If you win, our fees or costs will be paid as a part of any money paid out by the debt collector. You also pay no legal fees in these cases unless you win in the end. The debt collector pays the legal fees if you win the case, and Ed Shaw Law waives the legal fees if you do not. In other words, there is no risk for you.

Discuss Your Options At A Free Consultation

There is no charge to call or meet with attorney Ed Shaw in person and talk about your options. Call our Brainerd firm at 218-520-0325 or schedule a meeting online.
