Are You Being Called By Kubler Corporation?*

Every year, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau receives thousands of complaints from consumers who claim to have been harassed by debt collectors. These debtors felt so threatened by the collector’s demands that they sought legal counsel to bring the unwanted contact to an end.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits collection agencies from behaving in ways that alarm, humiliate, and cause distress to consumers. It restricts what these debt collectors can do to collect a debt, and bans tactics like those listed below.

• Using profane or obscene language
• Publicly posting details of a debt on social media and other public outlets
• Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe money
• Pretending to be members of law enforcement
• Telling you that you have committed a crime and will be arrested if you don’t pay
• Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
