If you have a past due debt, a collection agency such as Vital Recovery Services may start calling you. Harassing calls from a debt collection agency can be stressful enough, but if you start receiving voicemails from Vital Recovery Services it can be even more stressful for you and your family.
There are laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) that have been enacted to protect consumers like you from unscrupulous debt collection practices.
The Debt Collection Process and Vital Recovery Services
Debt collectors have strict guidelines under the FDCPA. These laws indicate that debt collectors are limited in what they can and cannot say when calling a consumer to collect a debt. The law indicates that the collection agency cannot release information about your debts to anyone else without your permission.
These laws prohibit Vital Recovery from tricking consumers into returning calls or from leaving messages without the consumer being fully aware of the cause of the communication.
If a third party is called by Vital Recovery Services in the search for you, they can only identify themselves and their contact information. During the call, Vital Recovery Services cannot reveal any details pertaining to the debt that you owe and its delinquency to the third party. These laws make leaving a voicemail basically impossible for Vital Recovery Services or any other debt collector. Doing so violates the FDCPA.
