Are You Being Called By SARMA Collections, Inc.?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Debt collectors can drive you to distraction, and they know it. They call you constantly at home and work, threaten to expose your financial situation to friends and family, and imply that legal action is imminent because in many instances, this kind of blatant consumer abuse works.

It’s time for you to stand up for yourself. You can start by learning more about what they really can and cannot do.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, mandates ethical behavior from third-party debt collectors and prohibits actions like the following during a debt collection attempt.

  • Raising their voices and making threats for actions they have no intention taking
  • Threatening legal action they cannot take, such as having you arrested and seizing your assets
  • Telling your friends, coworkers, and/or neighbors that they’re trying to collect a debt from you
  • Swearing and calling you names
  • Contacting you even after you’ve ordered them to cease communications
  • Demanding an amount that is not supported by law or the original debt agreement
