Are you being Called By Allen, Maxwell & Silver, Inc.?* Here’s What You Need to Know

Being in debt is hard enough, but when debt collectors are demanding payments you can’t afford, it’s tempting to escape by declaring personal bankruptcy. Before you make that decision, however, be aware that you have rights that prohibit collection agencies from harassing you to this extent, no matter how much you owe.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA grants you the right to dispute a debt, demand proof of its existence, and tell collection agencies to stop to stop calling you. It also regulates what debt collectors can say or do and prohibits tactics like those below.

• Using profane and obscene language
• Pretending to be police officers or federal agents
• Contacting you at work despite knowing that personal calls are not allowed there
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
• Failing or refusing to identify themselves as debt collectors trying to collect a debt
• Making threats they have no intention of following up on, such as having you arrested
