Who Is Global Trust Management?
Global Trust Management, LLC, known as GTM, is a third-party debt collection agency. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Tampa, Florida. GTM collects consumer debts, including accounts originally issued by online lenders, on behalf of other creditors.
In our practice, we request GTM’s complete account file on every case we open. That file often shows whether the settlement deadline they offered left enough time to validate the debt first. If your letter included a payment deadline, save it exactly as received.

Why Is Global Trust Management Calling You?
Global Trust Management is calling you because a creditor assigned or sold your account to them for collection. Their portfolio includes credit card balances, personal loans, and other consumer debt. If a representative offers a settlement with a tight deadline, that urgency deserves a second look.
Is Global Trust Management a Scam?
Global Trust Management is a real, licensed debt collection agency. Licensed status does not mean every tactic they use is legal.
If you searched Global Trust Funding, that is a separate company. It has no connection to GTM.
In our experience, we ask every new Global Trust Management client to send us their settlement letter first. The date printed against the 30-day validation window often tells us whether the deadline was even legal. Do not sign or pay based on a deadline alone.
Has the FTC Banned Global Trust Management?
No. The FTC has not banned Global Trust Management from operating as a debt collector.
- Al v. Global Trust Management, LLC (2017): a proposed class action alleged GTM sent settlement offers that expired before the 30-day FDCPA validation window closed.
- Fote v. Global Trust Management, LLC (2018): a proposed class action alleged GTM’s collection letters gave contradicting dates of last payment and creditor identity.
- Dunn v. Global Trust Management, LLC, 506 F. Supp. 3d 1214 (M.D. Fla. 2020): a lawsuit alleged GTM’s collection of purchased online-lender accounts violated the FDCPA and Florida’s consumer collection law.
In our practice, we compare the mailing date on every GTM letter against the settlement deadline it lists. When the math falls short of 30 days, that gap may be independent evidence of a violation. Consumers can also file complaints with the CFPB or the Florida Attorney General.
Should You Accept a Settlement Offer From Global Trust Management?
Not before you request written validation of the debt. The Al lawsuit alleged some settlement deadlines expired before the 30-day validation window closed. Request validation first, and evaluate any settlement offer second.
Can You Remove Global Trust Management From Your Credit Report?
You can dispute Global Trust Management’s entry with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion if it is inaccurate. Start with the date of last payment, since the Fote lawsuit alleged GTM’s letters gave conflicting dates. An incorrect date can affect both your credit report and your state’s statute of limitations.
- If validation was never provided, cite that in your bureau dispute.
- If GTM will not confirm deletion in writing before payment, do not pay yet.
Inaccurate reporting may also support a separate Fair Credit Reporting Act claim.
How Can You Stop Global Trust Management From Calling?
You can send a written cease-and-desist letter by certified mail once you have validated or disputed the debt. After they receive it, GTM can only confirm they will stop or notify you of a lawsuit.
In our practice, once a client hires us, contact routes through our office within 48 hours of notice. Keep your certified mail receipt as proof of when you sent your letter.
Save every letter, voicemail, and text Global Trust Management sends you.
