Are You Being Called By Financial Medical Systems, Inc.?

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Debt collectors can be ruthless, acting without regard for your rights. This is because experience has taught them that most consumers, unfamiliar with their rights, will cave in and pay sooner or later. Don’t let the same thing happen to you.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, requires third-party debt collectors to behave professionally when collecting consumer debts. Bullying tactics like those below are illegal, and can result in revocation of the agency’s license.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Contacting you if the debt collector is aware that you are being represented by an attorney
  • Pretending to be attorneys or police officers
  • Calling you at work when your workplace doesn’t let you take such calls
  • Telling your friends and family about the debt
  • Claiming that you can be arrested if you do not pay
