Are You Being Called By 4 Star Resolution, LLC?*

Most of us owe money to credit cards and similar accounts, and creditors are usually happy to accommodate us. If we are laid off, however and miss a certain number of payments, they will likely submit the accounts to a third-party collection agency, some of whom can be ruthless while collecting.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Debt collectors can be unbelievably persistent when trying to get your money, but never forget that you have rights no matter how much you allegedly owe. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, penalizes agencies that use collection methods like the following:

• Using profane and obscene language
• Adding illegal service fees to the original debt
• Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m., in your time zone
• Failing or refusing to identify themselves as debt collectors in every communication
• Using the telephone to harass you with constant calls
• Failing or refusing to report a debt as disputed to the credit bureaus
