Are You Being Called By Winn Law Group*? Here’s What You Need to Know

Is your life being made difficult by a debt collector? You’re not the only one. Literally thousands of Americans have at least one debt in collections. While a collection agency may legally contact you to make payment arrangements or discuss your situation, they may not behave in an unethical manner. The problem is that too many of them disregard this rule.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is committed to protecting consumers like yourself from predatory debt collectors. When a collection agency mistreats you by subjecting you to the following pressure tactics, the FDCPA gives you the right to sue.

  • Calling your payroll department at work and saying that garnishment paperwork is en route
  • Chasing you for debts that are too old to legally collect
  • Communicating on letterhead that makes the sender appear to be an attorney
  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:0 p.m. in your time zone
  • Leaving vague voice messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
  • Threatening to ruin your credit if you don’t pay.
