Are You Being Called By Account Resolution Corporation?*

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Dealing with collection agencies can be an absolute nightmare. When you can’t pay the debt or even afford a payment plan, they can try to pressure you by calling at all hours, making negative tradelines on your credit report, and threatening to sue you.

Before you start contemplating bankruptcy, hire a consumer lawyer.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is in place to protect you when a third-party debt collector uses pressure tactics to make you pay a debt. Actions like the following are illegal and can get an agency closed down.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Threatening to call your employer and tell them you owe money
  • Pretending to be attorneys or law enforcement officers to scare you into paying
  • Collecting from you during the dispute period
  • Demanding payment for a debt barred by statute
  • Leaving voice messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
