Are You Being Called By Financial Management Solutions, LLC?*

Debt collectors are eager to compel debt payments and often utilize threats, humiliation or lawsuits to achieve this goal. Sometimes these attempts run afoul of the law: some people have reported that collection agencies ignored disputes, cursed and swore on the phone, and posed as attorneys or police officers to threaten them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

In 1977, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed to provide protection to consumers from the harassing and aggressive practices of third-party collection agencies.

It immediately provided remedies for consumers who were subjected to unfair or illegal collections tactics like those below.

• Using profane and obscene language
• Using the telephone to harass you with constant calls
• Failing to report to the credit bureaus that a debt is in dispute
• Refusing or failing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
