Are The Debt Masters Calling You?*


Are The Debt Masters calling you? Defend your rights!

Debt collectors have a negative reputation that many regard as well-deserved. Consumers frequently post reports of collectors using scare or pressure tactics to intimidate people into paying, all the while feeling sure that these consumers will not try to defend fight back.

This is why knowing your rights is so important.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a consumer protection law that was passed in 1977 and regulates what third-party collectors can say or do while attempting to collect a debt. Unethical pressure tactics like those below are illegal:

  • Ignoring a formal cease communications request
  • hreatening to ruin your credit forever
  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Using the phone to harass you
  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Pretending to be lawyers or federal agents
  • Contacting you directly even after you’ve hired an attorney to represent you in the matter
