Are You Being Called By CBCInnovis, Inc.?*

Debt collectors are not legally permitted to harass consumers into paying a debt, but it happens so often that the Federal Trade Commission receives thousands of complaints a year. If you find yourself on the receiving end of an aggressive collection agency, it is important to know your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) dictates what debt collectors can say and do to collect a debt. If they employ tactics like those listed below, you have grounds to sue them and demand compensation.

• Calling you at inconvenient times and places, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Contacting you after you have sent a cease and desist letter
• Swearing, raising their voice, and calling you names
• Threatening consequences they cannot legally inflict, or have no intention of carrying out
• Contacting you at work if you are not allowed to receive calls there
• Discussing your debt with anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
