Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


No matter how financially responsible you try to be, there may come a time when one of your debts go into collection. Perhaps you lost your job, became too sick to work, or needed to pay emergency house or car repairs first.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to know that when debt collectors start contacting you, there are rules they must follow.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from being abused by third-party debt collectors. This federal law prohibits collection agents from using tactics like the following to stress you into paying:

  • Using profane and abusive language
  • Leaving messages that do not identify them as debt collectors
  • Demanding in addition to the original debt
  • Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your employer won’t let you take such calls
  • Claiming to be an attorney or a law enforcement official
