Are You Being Called By Pioneer Capital Solutions, Inc.?*

Although bills are in arrears because you were laid off, the debt collectors calling you to collect rarely care. They simply demand payment in aggressive terms and even call you abusive names. Don’t tolerate such conduct: it’s illegal and you can fight back.

The FDCPA and Your Rights

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, regulates what third-party debt collectors may say and do while trying to collect a consumer debt. If any debt collector uses tactics like those below to make you pay, you can take legal action.

• Using profane or obscene language
• Calling you at work to embarrass you in front of your boss and co-workers
• Demanding excessive service fees in addition to the original debt
• Using an autodialer to call you
• Calling before 8:00 a.m. and/or after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
