Called By Credit Systems of the Fox Valley? What to Know


While creditors are often understanding if you miss the odd payment, if you lose your job and can’t afford to maintain the minimum payments, the situation changes. Your accounts will be handed over to a collection agency that won’t likely be sympathetic about your situation.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits actions like the following during a debt collection attempt, but unfortunately, many debt collectors are not deterred. If that happens, get a free case review from a consumer lawyer and fight back.

  • Leaving voice messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
  • Failing to report your dispute to the credit bureaus
  • Adding illegal service fees to the original debt
  • Calling your relatives and friends about the debt
  • Shouting at you over the phone
  • Using an autodialer to call you
