What to Do When speaking with a Third Party Debt Collector

An experienced FDCPA lawyer will create a script to counteract the tried and true script read from by a debt collection agency representative.

One of the most cited tactics used by debt collection agencies is trying to collect delinquent credit accounts that consumers are not under any legal obligation to pay.

After you establish the identification of the debt collector, you then explain that you will turn on a tape recorder, which gives you evidence of the entire conversation.

One of the most important questions comes next:“Are you collecting on behalf of a creditor, your employer or yourself?”

Do not answer any other questions over the phone until the debt collection agency representative answers the question.

If the debt you owe is relatively new, the third party debt collector is most likely working for the original creditor. However, most debt collection agencies buy outstanding debts for pennies on the dollar.

When you receive a telephone call from a McCarthy Burgess & Wolff representative, you are up against an accomplished professional who knows how to get consumers to pay delinquent credit accounts and personal loans.

Speak with a licensed consumer protection lawyer today to ensure you benefit from the legal rights granted by the FDCPA.
