Are You Being Called By LDG Financial Services, LLC?*

You’ve likely heard stories about how debt collectors actually harass consumers into paying a debt they may not even owe. What’s even more disconcerting is that many of these stories are actually true, even though consumers have rights that protect them from being treated in this way.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed 40 years ago to protect indebted consumers from being bullied into bankruptcy. It regulates interactions between third-party debt collectors and those who owe money, and prohibits actions like those below.

• Raising their voice and making threats they have no intention of following up on
• Threatening to damage your reputation and credit rating
• Calling at all hours of the day and night
• Using profane and obscene language
• Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
• Demanding amounts that are not supported by law or the agreement that created the debt
