Are You Being Called By Affiliate Asset Solutions, LLC? Here’s What You Need to Know

In recent years the cost of living has gone up but salaries haven’t followed suit. People are also struggling to make ends meet while paying down their credit card and student loan balances. If you are in this situation and a debt collector is harassing you because of your financial difficulties, you have rights that protect you from mistreatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from being harassed into bankruptcy. If a debt collector tries to scare you into paying by using any of the approaches below, call a consumer lawyer.

  • Using language meant to intimidate you
  • Calling you at work after they’ve been advised that such calls are not allowed
  • Threatening legal action they cannot take or have no intention of taking
  • Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, and your attorney
  • Ignoring a written cease communications request
