Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


For many consumers, dealing with a collection agency is a nightmare. They receive rude and demanding calls all day and night, voicemails full of threats, and payment demands that they cannot meet. This conduct is illegal, however, and if it happens to you, there are steps you can take to stop it and seek compensation.

The FDCPA and How Your Rights Fall Under It

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, places restrictions on how third-party debt collectors can approach you for payment. Any actions that are similar to those below violate federal law and allow you to take action.

  • Calling anyone except you, your spouse, or attorney about the debt
  • Harassing you by phone (calling and hanging up)
  • Harassing you over a debt that isn’t yours
  • Cursing and swearing
  • Adding illegal collection and service fees to the original debt
  • Threatening legal actions it had no intention of taking, such as wage garnishment or foreclosure
