Are You Being Called By Exeter Finance Corp.?*


Debt collectors are regulated by state and federal laws, but many of them prefer to ignore the fact because harassment and abuse appear to yield the money they’re looking for. If you’re being pursued by a collection agency that ignores the law in favor of profit, learn more about your rights and how you can act on them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

In 1978, Congress passed The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which was designed to protect indebted consumers from aggressive debt collectors. In addition to regulating the ways that collection agencies could run their business, the FDCPA allows you to recover damages when a debt collector treats you in ways like the following:

  • Repeated phone calls intended to annoy you
  • Using racist or sexist language
  • Saying they have court papers to serve on you when they don’t
  • Calling your family and friends solely to embarrass you
  • Claiming to be members of law enforcement to scare you
  • Calling you names like loser and deadbeat

Alleged Violations against Exeter Finance Corp.

According to PACER, beginning in July 2013 and continuing through September 2013, Exeter Finance Corp. allegedly started calling a Texas consumer about an auto debt, although the debt actually belonged to his adult son.

He advised them that his son served in the U.S. military and could be contacted through their offices, but the company allegedly continued to call him.

Feeling harassed by Exeter Finance Corp., the consumer filed a lawsuit against the company for:

  • Harassing him about his son’s debt
  • Using harassing and abusive means to collect a debt
  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later dismissed.
