Are You Being Called By Evergreen Financial Services, Inc.?*


Are you being called by Evergreen Financial Services, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know.

It is extremely stressful to owe more money than you can ever hope to pay back within a reasonable time frame. When you’re no longer able to make the minimum payments and your creditors finally turn the accounts over to a professional collection agency, a nightmare can result, unless you know your rights and are prepared to act on them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, requires debt collectors to be behave professionally, which means treating you with respect. It also prohibits them from actions like the following when collecting or attempting to collect a debt:

  • Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Telling you that you can be arrested for nonpayment of a debt
  • Ignoring a formal cease communications request
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Contacting you at work after being advised that you are not allowed to talk to them there
  • Pretending to be police officers or federal agents
