Are You Being Called By Quality Asset Recovery, LLC?*

People fall into serious debt for a number of reasons that may not be their fault. Regardless, once an account goes into arrears, creditors will assign them to third-party debt collectors. If the collection agency assigned to your account is rude, aggressive, or intrusive, it’s time to read up on your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, gives you the right to dispute a debt and tell a collector to stop contacting you. It also prohibits the use of methods like the following to collect a debt.

• Using profane and obscene language
• Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your workplace doesn’t allow such calls
• Pretending to be police officers or federal agents
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Telling your friends, neighbors and co-workers that you owe money and they are trying to collect it from you
• Attempting to collect a debt that is in dispute
