Being bullied by debt collectors can hurt you on several levels. They interrupt your time with your family and make you afraid to answer the phone. If they call you at work, everyone in the office knows that you’re in financial trouble. What they won’t admit is that their conduct is illegal.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
If a collection agency is making your life miserable, they can be fined or even lose their license. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA,prohibits the use of actions like the following to compel a consumer to pay a debt.
● Intentionally reporting false information about the debt to the credit bureaus
● Refusing to validate the debt
● Reaching out to you directly after you hire an attorney
● Leaving voice messages that do not identify them as debt collectors

● Pursuing a debt included in a bankruptcy

Alleged Violations against Association Capital Resources, LLC
According to PACER, in or around late 2017, Association Capital Resources, LLC contacted a Florida consumer who had purchased a foreclosed property. The letter stated that he owed a back-logged balance of HOA fees from when the property was foreclosed upon in 2016.
However, the covenants for the property stated that any liens would be extinguished after it was sold. When the consumer attempted to sell the property, he allegedly found that Association Capital Resources, LLC still had a title lien on it. When he approached the company, an agent allegedly replied, “We don’t care what your attorney or ours say, we are entitled to get our money and we are going to get our money or you will not get a release.”
Feeling harassed by Association Capital Resources, LLC, the consumer secured legal counsel and sued the agency for misrepresenting the legal status of a debt.
The matter was later settled.
