HOUSTON — A Harris County man is suing a debt collection company, alleging he was victimized by false accusations and threats.

Dennis Rohloff filed a complaint May 6 in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas against Webster Monroe & Associates LLC, Rocky Mountain Capital Management LLC, UHG I LLC, Western Surety Company and Hartfold Casualty Insurance Company, alleging violation of the Texas Finance Code, invasion of privacy and violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

According to the complaint, Rohloff incurred a financial obligation that was primarily for personal, family or household purposes. The suit says he began to receive calls from Webster Monroe, stating it had a judgment against Rohloff and was seeking debt collection.

However, the suit alleges, there was no judgment against Rholoff who became emotionally distressed by the defendants' actions.

Rohloff seeks trial by jury, statutory damages of $1,000, damages of not less than $100 for each violation of the Texas Finance Code, attorney fees, court costs and all other just relief. He is represented by attorney Jeffrey D. Wood of The Wood Firm PLLC in Little Rock, Arkansas.
