Illegal Wiretapping Claims Lawsuit. Parker Waichman LLP is investigating claims that Genpact Services LLC and Nationwide Credit, Inc. engaged in illegal wiretapping in their attempts to collect debts from consumers.

Both Genpact and Nationwide Credit are hired by creditors to collect debts allegedly owed by consumers. As part of their collection efforts, representatives of both Genpact and Nationwide Credit contact purported debtors in their homes via telephone. Allegedly, those phone calls are recorded but consumers are not warned of this fact, and their consent to the recording is not obtained by the Genpact and Nationwide Credit debt collectors making the calls.
Nine states currently have laws on the books that require two party consent for the recording of telephone calls. That means that both the caller and the recipient must be informed that a call is being recorded, and both must consent to the recording. The nine states that require two party consent are:
Debt collectors for Genpact Services and Nationwide Credit often make multiple phone calls – sometimes dozens – to a single consumer in order to collect an alleged debt. The companies’ alleged practice of failing to inform consumers that calls are recorded would have resulted in thousands of violations in each of the nine states were the recording of telephone calls requires consent of both parties.
