Is Everett Association of Credit Men, Inc. Calling You?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


If you are dealing with a collection agency that calls you relentlessly, disturbing your privacy and embarrassing you in front of friends and co-workers, it impacts your quality of life. Although the debt collector may try to convince you otherwise, you have the right to take legal action once routine collection attempts cross the line into abuse.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a consumer protection law that controls when, where, and how a debt collector may communicate with you. Actions like those below are illegal and give you the grounds to sue the company for compensation.

  • Pursuing a debt where the statute of limitations has expired
  • Threatening to sue you when they don’t intend to do so
  • Using threats of violence or harm
  • Claiming to be attorneys or government representatives
  • Calling after you have told them not to contact you again
  • Trying to collect additional and unauthorized fees or charges
