Are you being called by Kansas Counselors, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know.

Anyone can run into financial difficulties, but that doesn’t matter to debt collectors who want your money. When you are unable to pay, some collectors will belittle you, threaten to haul you into court, or embarrass you in front of your friends and family. While this is upsetting, don’t be so stressed and ashamed that they don’t realize they have rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, requires third-party debt collectors to be professional and follow approved guidelines when communicating with indebted consumers. Tactics like those can result in severe penalties.

  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your attorney, and possibly your spouse
  • Leaving voice messages that do not identify the collector and the purpose of their call
  • Threatening action they cannot legally take or have no intention of taking
  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
  • Demanding outrageous ‘fees’ in addition to the original debt
