Called By Oxford Management Services? Here’s What to Know*

Are you dealing with rude debt collectors? If so, you are understandably upset, but remember: you do not have to tolerate such mistreatment. No matter how much you owe, you have rights, and an attorney can help you assert them.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

At one time, consumers were declaring bankruptcy to escape from debt collectors who harassed them relentlessly. Then Congress passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, which prohibits debt collection tactics like the following.

• Calling you at inconvenient times and places
• Demanding amounts not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
• Trying to collect after you have formally disputed a debt
• Cursing at you
• Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors seeking to collect a debt
• Calling you at work after you advise that your boss won’t let you take such calls
