Are you being bullied by debt collectors to pay credit card bills that financial circumstances forced you to default on? They may tell you that they have the right to call until you pay, but the truth is that you have the right to order them to stop contacting you and sue them if they persist.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects indebted consumers from being harassed into illness or bankruptcy or ill-health by overzealous debt collectors. If any agency uses these approaches on you, contact a consumer attorney.
- Leaving vague voice messages that don’t identify the caller as a debt collector
- Using an autodialer to leave a series of pre-recorded messages
- Calling at inconvenient times, usually before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
- Ignoring you when you dispute the debt and tell them not to call again
- Calling you at work after you say that you can’t talk to them there
- Ignoring a cease and desist letter

Alleged Violations against Land Home Financial Services, Inc.
According to PACER, in or around September 2014, Land Home Financial Services, Inc. began calling a Florida consumer to collect a debt.

They appeared to be made using an autodialer. When she informed the company that the debt was part of a bankruptcy and gave them her attorney’s number, the calls allegedly persisted.
Feeling harassed by Land Home Financial Services, Inc., the consumer filed an FDCPA lawsuit against the company for the following alleged violations:
- Misrepresenting the legal status of the debt
