Are you being called by Stanislaus Credit Control Services, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know.

When you are so deep in debt that you can no longer make the monthly payments on your monthly debts, it is incredibly stressful. When collection agencies start calling and sending letters, a new and even higher level of stress sets in. Whatever you do, don’t give in to bullying. Instead, learn what third party debt collectors can and cannot do to make you settle the debt.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 in response to complaints about abusive collection agency practices. Since then, it has been illegal for debt collectors to use methods like those below to collect a debt.

  • Failing to identify themselves during each communication as a debt collector seeking to collect a debt
  • Using obscene, profane, and threatening language
  • Ignoring a cease communications notice
  • Making threats they cannot legally carry out
  • Using an autodialer to leave a slew of pre-recorded messages
  • Calling you at work if they know what such calls are not allowed
