If you owe Covington Credit and you are behind making payments, or if they accuse you of owing a debt that isn’t yours, there are rights and resources readily available to you. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was enacted in 1978 to prevent third-party debt collectors from unscrupulous debt collection practices and to stop harassing consumers.
Despite the FDCPA, not all debt collectors abide by the rules. If you think Covington Credit is calling too often and you are being harassed, you might be able to have success with an FDCPA lawsuit against them.

How Much is Frequently?
The FDCPA does indicate that “the frequency and persistence of noncompliance by the debt collector,” so while that doesn’t specify an exact frequency, it does indicate that the more frequently a debt collector calls you, you are much more likely to win a settlement when you file a claim against the debt collector.
Such claims against Covington Credit are reviewed on a case by case basis. For example, if you told Covington Credit you cannot take calls and work and then they continue to call you at work three times every day, the court will most likely decide in your favor and you will be awarded an FDCPA settlement. On the other hand, if you haven’t answered any calls from the collection agency so you haven’t told them you cannot take calls at work, it is unlikely that a single call every day will be considered harassment.
If after telling Covington Credit they continue to call you repeatedly, you are much more likely to have a valid FDCPA claim against the collection agency.
Stop The Harassing Calls
If you think Covington Credit is calling too often and you are being harassed, you should consult with an FDCPA attorney in your state. You should get the harassment to stop by pursuing a claim against them. You might be awarded compensation for the collection agency’s FDCPA violations. FDCPA lawyers work on a contingency basis, so you will not have to pay anything upfront.
