Are You Being Called By Absolute Collections Corp?*

Debt collectors have gotten bolder since the economy took a downtown. Because so many people are struggling financially, they apply extra pressure to figuratively get blood out of a stone.

Although many distressed consumers aren’t aware of the fact, any collection agency that threatens or harasses them can be sanctioned and ordered to compensate them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, grants all consumers the right to dispute a debt and tell the collector to stop calling them. It also imposes strict penalties on collection agencies that try to get your money by:

• Calling at inconvenient times
• Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
• Discussing the debt with your friends and coworkers
• Making threats they cannot legally carry out or have no intention of carrying out
• Persisting in trying to collect a disputed debt
• Failing to identify themselves during each communication as a debt collector
