Are You Being Called By Plusfour, Inc.?*

Financial difficulties can strike anyone at any time, putting someone so far back in their regular debt payments that their creditors turn their accounts over to a collection agency or sell them to a junk debt buyer. In either case, the collection calls begin, disrupting your life and causing you stress.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA grants certain protections and rights to people who are being pursued by debt collectors. Under the law, you may dispute a debt and request no further contact from the agency calling you. In turn, third-party debt collectors may not use ruses like the following to compel you to pay.

• Swearing, yelling, and making threats they cannot legally carry out
• Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors seeking to collect a debt
• Contacting someone at work when their employer does not allow such calls
• Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors seeking payment for a debt
• Using profane or obscene language
• Ignore a cease communications notice, which the FDCPA allows you to send
