By Troutman Pepper Locke State Attorneys General Team
On September 14, 2026, Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell announced a settlement with several debt buying and debt collection companies and their owner, resolving a lawsuit that accused them of seizing consumers’ cars to coerce payments on unrelated debts. The defendants are now permanently barred from buying or collecting on debts in the state, leaving them unable to recover approximately $52 million in alleged loans to more than 6,000 Massachusetts consumers. The Massachusetts AG sued Andrew Metcalf and his debt buying and collection companies, Champion Funding, Inc., Champion Funding, LLC, and Judgment Acquisitions Unlimited, in state court in 2024.
