Are You Being Called By Credit Bureau Services?*


Are you being called by Credit Bureau Services?* Here’s what you need to know

Calls from debt collectors tend to signal a challenging event in your life. Perhaps you are behind on your monthly payments, maybe you are actually victim of identity theft, or the collector could be chasing the wrong person. If they are rude and insulting when trying to collect the amount they claim you owe, call a consumer attorney and be prepared to stand up for yourself.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a consumer protection law that makes it illegal for third-party debt collectors to harass debtors. Tactics like the following can cause a collection agency to be fined and even lose its license.

  • Using profane or obscene language
  • Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
  • Telling you that you can arrested or imprisoned for nonpayment of a debt
  • Threatening action they are not in a position to legally take
  • Failing to report a debt as disputed to the credit bureaus
  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
