How Should I Start a Claim Against MRS Associates?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


The stress and anxiety caused by falling deep into debt is bad enough. However, expect your stress and anxiety level to go through the proverbial roof when a debt collection agency begins to harass you in an effort to collect an outstanding credit card or personal loan balance.

Third party debt collectors earn incredible profits whenever they purchase delinquent debts from original creditors. The huge profit margin might be reason enough for a bill collector like MRS Associates to implement illegal debt collection practices.

Until September 20, 1977, consumers were up against the wall when it came to dealing with debt collection agencies. The pushback against aggressive third party debt collectors culminated with the enactment of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

In addition to outlawing specific debt collection tactics, the FDCPA also offers consumers several methods for turning the legal tables against the illegal practices implemented by bill collectors.

Leverage the FDCPA to Stop Debt Collection Agency Harassment

Most consumers that are hounded by aggressive debt collection agencies have no idea the FDCPA protects them against aggressive debt collection practices. Third party debt collectors prey on consumers that are unaware of their legal rights.

For example, did you know that a bill collector such as MRS Associates is prohibited from calling you during certain times of the day? The FDCPA makes it unlawful for a bill collector to call you between the hours of 9 pm and 8 am.

Debt collection agencies are not permitted to stretch the truth, not even a little bit. You should not succumb to the intimidation tactics used by a debt collection agency, such as threats that include telling you a jail cell awaits if you do not take care of an outstanding consumer debt.

One of the great things about the FDCPA is the federal consumer protection law does much more than make certain behaviors illegal. It also grants you the right to stop all forms of harassment. You can demand a third party debt collector prove the validity of a debt by sending you documentation.

If a bill collector does not comply with your request and still hounds you at all times during the day, then you need to ramp up your legal support by hiring a licensed consumer protection lawyer.
