Are You Being Called By Greene & Cooper Collections, LLC?*

Every year collection agencies connect with thousands of consumers about outstanding accounts, and not all of these communications are civil or even legal. If you are being harassed by a debt collector who ignores your rights, there are ways that you can fight back and even receive compensation.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) controls when, where, and how third-party collection agencies may communicate with consumers. One of the primary restrictions is that they must refrain from using abusive tactics like those listed below:

• Using profane language
• Ignoring your written dispute
• Threatening to harm you or your property
• Failing to identify themselves during each communication as a debt collector
• Harassing you with phone calls at work
• Claiming that they have a court action against you when they don’t
