A Minnesota-based collection agency is being sued by a larger competitor, alleging its tactics are offensive and harassing.
Bullseye Collection Agency uses "WWJD," or What Would Jesus do?, as its motto, and it appears on the agency's business stationery. Bullseye is being called to task by Mark Neill, who received one of their collection letters and was offended by WWJD. Neill owns the Bureau of Collection Recovery, a debt-collection agency and Bullseye competitor. Liberty Counsel attorney Harry Mihet is representing Bullseye. "They treat their customers with respect, with integrity, and the way that they themselves would like to be treated," he claims. "They listen to the debtors. They try to work out solutions for the problems that they are facing. They even pray with the debtors over the phone sometimes in certain situations." Neill, the competitor, has filed a lawsuit against Bullseye, a much smaller, family-owned collection company. The Liberty Counsel attorney explains the current situation. "They are now defendants in a federal class-action lawsuit that alleges that by using that business motto, they are in fact harassing and oppressing the public at large and therefore are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act," Mihet explains. Mihet argues the allegations are false, and says he intends to prove it in court.
