Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


Collection agencies inspire more complaints to the Federal Trade Commission than any other business. This is because so many of them use aggressive and even illegal methods to collect money from consumers. If you are harassed via phone and mail by unscrupulous debt collectors, you can make it stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from abusive debt collection methods. Any collection agency that uses unethical tactics like the following can potentially have their license revoked or be fined thousands of dollars.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Threatening action they cannot legally take or have no intention of taking
  • Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
  • Disguising the fact that they are debt collectors trying to collect a debt
  • Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease
  • Reporting false information to the credit bureaus
