Are You Being Called By HSI Financial Services, LLC?* Here’s What You Need to Know

Third-party debt collectors have a bad reputation for harassing indebted consumers. Swearing, lawsuit threats, and embarrassing calls to your boss and payroll department are all abusive tactics used to compel payment. One thing they won’t do is advise you that the law protects you from such predatory collection tactics.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) has strict rules that regulate how third-party debt collectors can approach and communicate with you. Actions like those below are illegal when used to collect a debt, and can get an agency reported to the Federal Trade Commission.

• Swearing and calling you names
• Pretending to be members of law enforcement
• Telling you that you have committed a crime and will be arrested if you don’t pay
• Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Threatening to call your payroll department and tell them you owe a debt
• Contacting your friends, family and co-workers and discussing the debt with them

Alleged Violations against HSI Financial Services, LLC
