Are You Being Called By Miramed Revenue Group?

You’ve been trying to pay your debts, but since you lost your job, it’s been nearly impossible. Now debt collectors are calling you every day and making threats that leave you depressed and unable to sleep. Is there anything you can do to make it stop?

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 after complaints about debt collectors reached epic proportions. This consumer protection law makes it illegal for debt collectors to use strategies like the following to collect a debt.

● Using profane and obscene language
● Discussing your debt with your friends, neighbors, and co-workers
● Maliciously reporting false information to the credit bureaus
● Threatening action they cannot legally take or have no intention of taking
● Contacting you after you have sent a cease and desist letter
● Contacting you directly after you retain an attorney
