Are You Being Called By the Law Offices of Joel Cardis?

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


If debt collectors are calling you several times a day, always demanding payment for debts you either never owed or can no longer afford, you may be tempted to declare bankruptcy to make it stop, but there are other ways to bring the harassment to an end.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, requires third-party debt collectors to be professional when reaching out to consumers, so any abusive behavior is against the law. Below are some actions that can put a collection agency out of business.

● Using profane and obscene language
● Ignoring a written dispute
● Threatening to garnish your wages
● Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
● Pretending to be attorneys, police officers, or federal agents
● Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe a debt.
