Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Debt collectors have a reputation for deceiving and harassing the people they are trying to collect money from. It’s a situation that people who have already experienced an adverse condition such as job loss, illness, or injury often find intolerable.

If this happens to you, be aware that you have rights that protect you from abuse and malicious conduct.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is a consumer protection law that makes it illegal for collectors to use abusive or deceptive means to collect a debt. If the agency you’re dealing with does any of the following, they are breaking the law and can be sanctioned.

  • Calling you at work after you’ve told them that you aren’t allowed to talk to them there
  • Calling at all hours of the day and night
  • Telling you that you can be jailed for fraud or a related crime if you don’t pay
  • Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe money
