CONSUMER CREDIT ACTIVITY

Omnipoint Management Solutions LLC

On June 9, 2026, the Commissioner entered into a Consent Order with Omnipoint Management Solutions LLC (NMLS # 1801926) ("Omnipoint"), West Seneca, New York. The Consent Order resolved allegations made by the Commissioner in a Notice of Intent to Issue Order to Cease and Desist, Notice of Intent to Impose Civil Penalty and Notice of Right to Hearing against Omnipoint issued on January 6, 2026 (collectively, "Notice"). The Notice was the result of an investigation by the Consumer Credit Division stemming from a complaint filed with the Department of Banking by an employee of a Connecticut hospital. The Notice alleged that: (1) Omnipoint acted within this state as a consumer collection agency without a consumer collection agency license, in violation of Section 36a-801(a) of the Connecticut General Statutes in effect at such time; (2) Omnipoint communicated with persons other than the debtor or other authorized party, without prior consent of the debtor, in connection with the collection of a debt, in violation of Section 36a-809-9(d)(2) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies; (3) Omnipoint engaged in conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt, in violation of Section 36a-809-10 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies; and (4) Omnipoint acted in a manner that failed to comply with 12 CFR Sections 1006.14(a) and 1006.14(h)(1) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, by engaging in conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse a person in connection with the collection of a debt, including communicating with hospital staff through the hospital's emergency medical phone line after hospital staff explained that it was an emergency medical phone line and requested that Omnipoint not call such line, in violation of Section 36a-812 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Omnipoint failed to request a hearing on the allegations in the Notice, and on February 10, 2026, the Commissioner issued an Order to Cease and Desist and Order Imposing Civil Penalty against Omnipoint ("Final Order"). Subsequent to the issuance of the Final Order, Omnipoint contacted the Division and provided information demonstrating a showing of changed conditions. As a result, the Commissioner modified the Final Order through the issuance of this Consent Order. The Consent Order vacates the Final Order and requires, among other items, that Omnipoint pay $75,000 as a civil penalty and $1,600 as back licensing fees.
