Are You Being Called By Revenue Recovery Corporation?*


Are you being called by Revenue Recovery Corporation?* Here’s what you need to know

If you have experienced financial setbacks that have sent your credit cards, student loans, and other debt into arrears, debt collectors will eventually start to call. They will be persistent, but don’t be harassed or intimidated into payment arrangements you can’t afford. Not when the law protects you in this regard.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Legally, third-party debt collectors are not allowed to bully or harass you about paying a debt. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, imposes significant penalties on companies that use collection tactics like the following:

  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. your time
  • Threatening you with consequences or actions they can’t legally take or have no intention of taking
  • Contacting you after you have sent a cease and desist letter (unless it is to advise you that legal action is commencing or collection activities have stopped)
  • Pretending to be attorneys or law enforcement officials
  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Failing or refusing to report a debt as disputed to the credit bureaus
