Are You Being Called By Nationstar Mortgage, LLC?*

The Federal Trade Commission recently froze the assets of a collection agency that allegedly pursued fabricated debts from stolen consumer data. The FTC also found that agency collectors claimed to be attorneys and threatened those who didn’t pay.

This type of misconduct is not unique in the debt collection industry, so if you are being harassed over debts you don’t believe you owe, learn more about your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, has been protecting the rights of indebted consumers for over 40 years. If a third-party debt collector uses methods like the following to collect a debt from you, there is sufficient cause to sue them.

• Ignoring a written dispute letter
• Chasing you to pay a debt discharged in an earlier bankruptcy
• Contacting you directly when you have an attorney regarding the debt
• Leaving rude or threatening voicemails
• Calling you at work when they know that you can’t take calls there
• Saying a lawsuit is imminent when it isn’t
