Are You Being Called By Kyanite Services, Inc.?*

Statistics reveal that a high number of American consumers have a debt in collections these days. Judging by the number of complaints submitted to the Federal Trade Commission each year, many of these contacts are not positive ones.

If you are targeted by a debt collector that harasses you and makes your life miserable, don’t tolerate it. You have the right to make them stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) imposes strict guidelines on how and when a third-party debt collector can communicate with you. If you are subjected to actions like the following, you can take legal action.

• Telling you that you can be arrested for not paying your debts
• Demanding that you pay before the dispute period is up
• Threatening action they cannot legally take or have no intention of taking
• Calling you at work when they know that such calls are not allowed
• Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Mocking and belittling you for your inability to pay
