Are You Being Called By Hewitt Capital LLC?

People fall into serious debt for a number of understandable reasons, such as illness or job loss. Once an account is delinquent, however, your creditors will usually assign them to debt collectors who can make your situation even worse if you don’t know your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

● Using profane and obscene language
● Threatening harm to your person, property, and / or credit rating
● Discussing your debt with your friends, neighbors, and co-workers
● Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors
● Reporting false information to the credit bureaus
● Threatening action they are not in a position to legally take
