Are You Being Called By Designed Receivable Solutions?*

Although there are laws in place to protect consumers, a disturbing number of debt collectors ignore them because bullying and aggression get them the results they want. However, if you’re being harassed, understand that a free consultation with a consumer lawyer can bring the unwanted contact to an end.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

Although the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires debt collectors to treat you fairly, complaints to the Federal Trade Commission suggest that the following activities are the norm.

• Using profane or obscene language
• Using an autodialer
• Contacting you directly when you have a lawyer
• Saying that they will file a lawsuit that day if you don’t pay
• Harassing you over a debt that isn’t yours
• Reporting false information to the credit bureaus
