Are You Being Called By Meridian Management Solutions, LLC?


Debt collection harassment impacts your daily life in many ways. It stresses you out, can cause you to develop high blood pressure and, over time, can lead to depression. You may feel that you have no choice but to accept the mistreatment, but the truth is that there are laws in place to protect you.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, gives legal protection to consumers who are dealing with third-party debt collectors. It grants you the right to order the collector to stop calling you and take legal action against agencies that abuse your rights in the following ways:

● Calling you outside the hours of 8:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
● Filing a lawsuit against you in a far-away courthouse
● Shouting at you over the phone
● Calling you at work to embarrass you
● Claiming that you can go to jail for not paying a debt
● Illegally re-aging a time-barred debt
