Once you miss a certain number of debt payments, a collection agency may soon be in touch. When these companies attempt to collect the outstanding balance, they may use means that are harassing and unfair. If they do, know your rights and prepare to fight back.

● Threatening legal actions that they have no intention of taking
● Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
