Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Debt collectors don’t have the best track record when it comes to obeying the law. They prefer to increase their chances of success by threatening lawsuits, using obscene language, and contacting your friends and family.

All of these tactics are designed to humiliate or scare you into paying. Such conduct is illegal, so if you are subjected to such treatment, you can call a consumer lawyer and fight back.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal statute that regulates debt collector conduct. It prohibits a number of deceptive and abusive activities that still occur with some frequency all across the country, such as those listed below.

  • Telling your friends, neighbors and co-workers that you owe money and they are trying to collect it from you
  • Making legally insupportable threats
  • Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors in each communication
  • Insulting, yelling, or swearing at you
  • Leaving abusive messages on your answering machine
  • Threatening you with garnishments, liens, or lawsuits

Alleged Violations against National Credit Systems, Inc.

According to PACER, in or around early 2017 a Texas consumer checked her credit report and found an entry from National Credit Systems, Inc. When she called the company and asked for information about how to remove the trade line, she was allegedly told that it did not matter how many times she disputed it, the trade line was never going to come off, unless she paid the debt.

Feeling harassed by National Credit Systems, Inc., she hired a consumer lawyer and filed a lawsuit against the agency for the following alleged violations of the FDCPA:

  • Using false, deceptive and misleading means to collect a debt
  • Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later dismissed.
