If you have a debt that hasn’t been paid, it may be turned over to a third-party collection agency. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which was passed in 1978, was enacted to put an end to the harassment and unscrupulous practices of debt collectors.
It was designed to protect consumers like you from wrongdoing. If Paramount Recovery Systems is collecting a debt from you, they must adhere to the FDCPA. If they violate the laws, then they could face harsh legal penalties and you may be able to pursue a claim against them.
