Called By Titan Recovery Group? Here’s What to Know

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau constantly receives complaints about debt collectors. Some consumers complain of being sworn at and called names while others claim that they are being asked to pay a time-barred debt. If you find yourself in such a situation, know your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, has been protecting indebted consumers since 1977. It gives you the right to dispute a debt and request no more contact from a collection agency, and outlaws the use of collection methods like those below.

• Using profane and obscene language
• Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
• Calling at inconvenient times, usually before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
• Pretending to be attorneys, police officers, or federal agents
• Contacting you at your workplace after being advised that such calls are not permitted
• Threatening to ruin your credit or have you arrested.
