Are You Being Called By Mountain Land Collections, Inc.?*


When debt collectors are harassing you daily to pay debts you can’t afford, it can be hard to decide which way to turn. You may even contemplate bankruptcy. While this can be a valid debt solution for you, there are other ways to make unwanted calls and letters stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects you from being mistreated by unethical debt collectors. It makes third-party collections agencies answerable to the Federal Trade Commission and penalizes any company that uses ruses like the following to make you pay.

  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Demanding amounts that are inflated by ‘service charges’
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Telling your friends and neighbors that you owe money
  • Leaving voice messages that don’t identify them as debt collectors
  • Failing to send a debt validation package
