Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Are you being called by Roosen, Varchetti & Olivier?* Here’s what you need to know.

Each year the Federal Trade Commission receives scores of complaints about debt collectors abusing indebted consumers. These companies issue threats, humiliate the debtor publicly, and indulge in other forms of harassment. If this happens to you, be aware that you have rights and don’t have to passively tolerate such abuse.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits third-party debt collectors from using harassing indebted consumers. This means that tactics like the following are prohibited and can result in expensive fines:

  • Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Calling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers and telling them that you owe money
  • Making threats they cannot legally carry out or have no intention of carrying out
  • Calling a person at work when they know that such calls are not permitted by the employer
  • Intentionally reporting false information to the credit bureaus
