Are You Being Called By Action Revenue Recovery?* Here’s What You Need to Know

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, approximately one in three consumers has been contacted by a debt collector in the past year. Complaints about collection agencies account for nearly one-quarter of all complaints the organization has received since it started. If you experience this type of harassment, know that you have rights that can make it stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was enacted in 1977 to combat abusive debt collection tactics. It protects consumers by prohibiting debt collectors from using methods like the following to collect a debt:

  • Calling at inconvenient times
  • Using profane and abusive language
  • Discussing the debt with anyone except the consumer, their attorney, spouse, or co-signer
  • Threatening legal actions they cannot take
  • Calling non-stop with the intention of annoying and harassing the consumer
  • Ignoring a request to cease communications

In response, the representative allegedly that they would “go ahead and report on your credit.”
