Are You Being Called By Glacial Star Group, Inc.?


Most of us owe some amount of debt and rarely think about it. It becomes a different story if you lose your job and can’t find another one before debt collectors start hounding you. Fortunately, you have rights that allow you to take action if they go too far.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, became law in 1977 after debt collector misconduct got out of control. This federal law makes it illegal for collection agencies to use measures like the following:

● Calling you at work to embarrass you
● Using profane or obscene language
● Discussing the debt with uninvolved third parties
● Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
● Ignoring a consumer dispute
● Adding illegal collection fees to the original debt

Company Profile: Glacial Star Group, Inc.

If you are being called by Glacial Star Group, Inc., here is some additional company information.

The PACER website holds files confirming that those who felt harassed by Glacial Star Group, Inc. were not too intimidated to act on their rights.
