F.H. Cann & Associates, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based debt collection agency, founded in 1999, that collects on delinquent consumer accounts — including federal student loan and other unsecured debt — on behalf of creditors nationwide. If FH Cann is contacting you, send a debt validation letter in writing to confirm the balance before paying anything.

Yes. In a federal FDCPA lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Case No. 2:17-cv-00496), a plaintiff alleged FH Cann demanded roughly $602.60 in “collection costs” that far exceeded both the actual and average cost of collecting the debt, arguing the added fee amounted to an unfair and deceptive collection practice under the FDCPA and that it would be barred under state law even if separately negotiated. If FH Cann’s letter or bill adds fees beyond what your original creditor billed you, that’s worth flagging in a written dispute — see debt validation request.

Questions & Answers

Is FH Cann & Associates a legitimate debt collector?

FH Cann & Associates shows up in the CFPB consumer complaint database, which tracks real complaints filed against real companies — so it is a legitimate, registered entity, not a scam name. That doesn't mean every call claiming to be from them is real; scammers impersonate real collectors. Verify what they're collecting before paying anything — see what to do the first time a collector contacts you.

How do I stop FH Cann & Associates from calling me?

Under the FDCPA, you can send FH Cann & Associates a written cease-and-desist letter and they must stop contacting you except to confirm they've received it or to notify you of specific legal action. This doesn't erase the debt — it only stops the calls. See the cease-and-desist letter glossary entry for how to send one.
