(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 17, 2011 ) Orlando, Florida Debt harassment attorney Billy Howard of Morgan and Morgan was featured on a 10News video segment regarding the use of social networking sites to collect outstanding debts. The video, which can be found on WTSP.com, examined a recent case of Mr. Howard's involving a woman who learned that a debt collector was contacting her relatives via Facebook. To view the entire clip, please visit http://www.wtsp.com/video/default.aspx?bctid=820259818001.
Mr. Howard represented Melanie Beacham, a woman who was subjected to allegedly illegal debt collection by MarkOne Financial. After falling behind on car payments and receiving several calls from debt collectors, Ms. Beacham learned that her sister was contacted via Facebook regarding the debt. Consumer rights attorney Billy Howard believed this conduct to be a violation of Ms. Beacham's rights and filed a debt harassment case in Pinellas County on her behalf. A judge ruled that MarkOne Financial could not contact Beacham or anyone on her page via Facebook, making this the first ruling by a judge specifically stating that creditors cannot use a social networking website to collect a debt.
Mr. Howard has received international press for the Facebook harassment lawsuit and is regularly interviewed for his work in handling debt harassment claims. He has been interviewed numerous times by CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox and 60 Minutes and was featured on two separate Inside Edition specials. Mr. Howard and the Consumer Protection Department, which he founded at Florida firm Morgan and Morgan, has also been the subject of more than 1,000 articles.
