Are You Being Called By Green and Son’s Agency, Inc.?*

When you’re dealing with a debt load that seems impossible, nothing is calculated to make you feel worse than a debt collector who belittles your inability to pay. Although they would never admit it, such actions are illegal and you can sue the agency if the harassment continues.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

• Contacting you directly instead of your attorney
• Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
• Using an autodialer to call you constantly
• Sharing details of your debt with unauthorized third parties
• Pretending to be attorneys and federal agents
