Are You Being Called By the Law Offices of Crystal Moroney?*

Calls from debt collectors tend to signal a challenging event in your life. Perhaps you are behind on your monthly payments, maybe you are actually victim of identity theft, or the collector could be chasing the wrong person.

If they are rude and insulting when trying to collect the amount they claim you owe, call a consumer attorney and be prepared to stand up for yourself.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Although the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) requires third party debt collectors to treat consumers with respect, collection actions like those below result in complaints to the Federal Trade Commission every year.

• Yelling at you and calling you names
• Demanding that you pay a time-barred debt
• Making threats they can’t or won’t follow up on
• Calling you at work when they know that your boss doesn’t allow it
• Pretending to be members of law enforcement
• Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. your time
