Are you being called by The Allen Daniel Associates, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know.

For those of us who are deep in debt, hearing the phone ring can send our stress levels skyrocketing. This is because the caller is likely a debt collector demanding payments that would have been easier to manage before financial setbacks started happening. If that collector is rude or bullying, you might be surprised to know that they’re breaking the law and could end up owing you money instead.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was enacted in 1977 to protect consumers from being harassed by debt collectors. It granted people the right to demand validation of a debt and tell the collector to stop calling them. The FDCPA also prohibits unethical collection tactics like those below.

  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Calling you at work when your employer does not allow such calls
  • Threatening legal actions that they have no intention of taking
  • Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Failing or refusing to validate the debt
  • Talking about the debt to anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
