According to data from the New York State Unified Court System, junk debt buyer Cavalry Portfolio Services filed only 1,493 New York debt collection lawsuits in 2025, a significant number but lower than in prior years.
Cavalry Portfolio Services, LLC and its affiliates—Cavalry SPV I, LLC, Cavalry SPV II, LLC, and Cavalry SPV IV, LLC—regularly pursue consumers in court to collect defaulted credit card and loan debts. Headquartered at 500 Summit Lake Drive, Valhalla, NY 10595, Cavalry is a New York-based debt buyer operating nationwide.
Cavalry typically works through well-known collection law firms including Mandarich Law Group, LLP, Tromberg, Morris & Partners, PLLC, and Portnoy Schneck, LLC. These firms regularly file lawsuits across New York courts, seeking to collect through wage garnishments and frozen bank accounts—often catching consumers off guard and unaware of their legal rights.
FDCPA Protections for Consumers
Cavalry has been accused numerous times of violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)—a federal law designed to protect consumers from false, deceptive, or harassing collection tactics. Under the FDCPA, you may be entitled to up to $1,000 in statutory damages, actual damages (including emotional distress), and coverage of your attorney’s fees.
