Are You Being Called By Oxford Law, LLC?*

When you owe a debt that has been assigned to a collection agency, that company is legally required to treat you with dignity and respect. When they become abusive, it can make some people physically ill and drive them to bankruptcy.

If a debt collector goes to extremes with you, see a consumer lawyer who can help you protect your rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, is the principal consumer protection law when it comes to debt collector activities. Any company that tries these pressure tactics to get you to pay can lose its license and be fined by the FTC.

• Pretending to be a law enforcement officer or government agency representative
• Refusing to identify oneself as a debt collector over the phone
• Communicating directly with a consumer who is known to be represented by an attorney
• Disclosing private information about the debt to friends and family members
• Calling before 8:00 in the morning or after 9:00 at night
• Calling so often that it constitutes harassment
