Are You Being Called By Premiere Credit?* Here’s What You Need to Know

Debt collection is an industry worth billions of dollars. Collection agencies also generate more complaints than any other financial service. While many debt collectors obey consumer protection laws, several engage in illegal practices.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Forty plus years ago, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed to help restrict the aggressive and abusive means being taken by overly zealous debt collectors to collect debts. It outlines important rights for consumers and gives you the legal standing to sue a collection agency that subjects you to the following:

• Harassing you over a debt that you never incurred
• Calling you at work even after you tell them that your boss does not allow it
• Threatening to garnish your wages or send you to prison
• Calling you rude and obscene names
• Pretending to be attorneys or members of law enforcement
• Talking about the debt with your friends, family, and neighbors
