How Frost Bank Operates
Frost Bank is a traditional financial institution that maintains its own internal departments for debt recovery. When accounts become significantly past due, the creditor may transition from internal collections to external legal action. It is a common misconception that because they are a bank, their processes are immune to challenge. Like any other creditor, they must adhere to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
If you feel your rights have been violated, it is vital to document all interactions. Creditors are strictly prohibited from using abusive language, making false statements, or threatening legal action that they do not intend to take. Understanding your protections under the FDCPA violations statutes is often the first step in leveling the playing field.
Understanding Your Creditor
Do not assume the amount claimed is accurate simply because it comes from a large bank. We demand that creditors provide documented proof of the alleged debt, including a verified chain of ownership and an accurate accounting of the balance, interest, and fees.
Working with an attorney allows you to shift the burden of proof back to the creditor. If you are being contacted by various debt collectors regarding a Frost Bank account, remember that you have the right to request validation of the debt before making any commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Frost Bank garnish my wages in Utah?
Frost Bank cannot garnish your wages or levy your bank accounts without first obtaining a judgment from a Utah court. This requires them to properly serve you with a lawsuit and win their case. We assist clients in responding to these lawsuits to mitigate the risk of such judgments.
Should I pay the amount immediately?
It is rarely in your best interest to make a payment or enter into a settlement agreement before speaking with legal counsel. Payments can sometimes be interpreted as an admission of liability or the total amount owed, which may complicate your legal position.
