Are You Being Called By Pilot Receivables Management, LLC?*

Dealing with a collection agency is never pleasant, as you’re being asked to pay a debt you can’t afford due to financial challenges. If the debt collector assigned to your account is rude and aggressive, the situation can be intolerable.

Before you consider bankruptcy, be aware that legally, you don’t have to tolerate this type of treatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a consumer protection law intended to keep third-party collection agencies from harassing consumers. Illegal collection actions under this law include:

• Using foul language
• Telling you that you can be arrested for not paying your debts
• Chasing you to pay a debt that is barred by statute
• Contacting your friends, family, and co-workers and discussing the debt with them
• Leaving vague messages that do not identify them as a debt collector
• Calling you names and belittling you
