Are You Being Called By Cash-Pro, Inc.? Here’s What You Need to Know

Collection agencies train their employees to be as persistent as possible to collect money owed. This direction frequently manifests itself as aggressive and intrusive measures such as calling the debtor at all hours of the day or night, harassing them at work, or blowing up their phone with an autodialer. If it happens to you, be aware that such tactics are illegal.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from having their lives ruined by third-party collection agencies. It penalizes debt collectors who harass you in the following ways:

• Refusing to provide you with information about the debt upon request
• Failing or refusing to report a debt as disputed to the credit bureaus
• Persisting in trying to collect a disputed debt
• Using profane and obscene language on the phone or in voicemails
• Threatening to publish your name on a debtor’s list
• Contacting you directly when they know that you have an attorney
