Are You Being Called By 11th Hour Recovery*? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you lose your job and become too disabled to work full-time, keeping up with your monthly debt payments may become impossible. If this happens to you, your creditors will probably turn the accounts over to debt collectors after you miss a certain number of payments. If the collection agency assigned to your account is intrusive and deliberately trying to stress you into paying, learn more about your rights in these situations.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was enacted after complaints about third-party debt collectors reached unprecedented levels. It grants you certain rights, such as the ability to dispute a debt and tell a collection agency to stop calling you, and penalizes collection agencies that use strategies like those below.
- Calling you at all hours of the day and night
- Yelling at you over the phone
- Demanding amounts that are not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
- Inflating the debt with unreasonable collection fees and service charges
- Threatening consequences they cannot legally inflict or have no intention of carrying out
- Calling your friends and family to tell them that you owe a debt
