Are You Being Called By MNet Financial, Inc.?

Some debt collectors go to extremes. They’ll threaten to call your boss, have you arrested, and or garnish your wages if you don’t pay immediately. If this happens to you, contact a lawyer immediately, as threatening consumers violates the law.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Debt collectors can be overzealous when trying to get you to pay, but don’t forget that you have rights. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, prohibits collection agencies from using abusive collection tactics like those below:

● Calling at inconvenient times
● Calling you at work after they’ve been told to stop
● Publicly posting details of a debt on social media
● Adding illegal service fees to the original debt
● Swearing and yelling
● Telling you that you can go to jail for not paying a debt
