Are You Being Called By Check Care Systems, Inc.?*


Thousands of people across the country are struggling with huge amounts of debt. If you are being contacted by collection agencies about overdue credit card bills, student loans, and other obligations, remember that they have to be professional when communicating with you. To shout, intimidate, or deceive you is illegal under federal law.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects consumers from harassment by third-party collection agencies. Debt collectors are prohibited from using pressure tactics like the following to make you pay:

  • Swearing and calling you names
  • Failing or refusing to identify themselves as debt collectors in every communication
  • Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Pretending to be attorneys or police officers
  • Refusing to provide you with information about the debt upon request
  • Threatening to have you arrested or imprisoned
