![Has SRS and Associates, Inc.*, Been Calling Repeatedly?*]()
How Much is Frequently?
“The frequency and persistence of noncompliance by the debt collector” is considered harassment according to the FDCPA, but it doesn’t specific an exact number of calls that must be made for it to be considered harassment. So, it is safe to say that if you are being called 6 or 7 times a day – the court would view it as harassment. The more they call you, the more likely you are to have a successful claim against them, but you need to provide documentation that shows the call frequency.
Always document any calls that you receive. Write down the date and time of the call, who you spoke with, and a summary of the discussion. Documentation is essential to the success of your claim.
If you receive a call from SRS and Associates, Inc., and tell them you are unable to accept any calls at work and they continue to call you 3 or 4 times per day, it is safe to say that you have grounds for a claim because of harassment. If you haven’t talked with them and told them they cannot call you at work and they continue to do so, you will most likely not succeed with a harassment claim against them.
