Are You Being Called By M.A.R.S. Collection Agency?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


If you have been experiencing financial strain and fallen behind on your payments such as, credit cards and student loans, collection agencies will eventually be contacting you. Not all of them will be civil, but as an indebted consumer, you have rights.

The FDCPA and How Your Rights Fall Under It

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect consumers against unethical and extreme debt collection practices. This consumer protection law prohibits actions like the following when committed during a debt collection attempt.

  • Threatening action they are not in a position to legally take
  • Calling you at times that are inconvenient to you
  • Trying to collect after you have formally disputed a debt
  • Demanding amounts that are inflated by ‘service charges’
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Leaving vague messages that do not identify the caller as a debt collector
