Are You Being Called By Credit Adjustments, Inc.?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Experiencing a financial setback can make it impossible to pay your monthly bills. It’s a situation that debt collectors are aware of but refuse to understand, especially when they try to make a bad situation in your life even worse.

Fortunately, there are laws that protect you from harassment and mistreatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Collection agencies can be persistent to the point of being a nuisance, but never forget that you have rights. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, allows you to dispute a debt, tell the collector to stop calling, and sue companies that subject you to the following:

  • Calling at inconvenient times
  • Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
  • Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, and your attorney
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Disguising the fact that they are debt collectors trying to collect a debt
