Are You Being Called By Pro Collect, Inc.?* Here’s What You Need to Know


It’s difficult to work hard knowing that no matter how many hours you put in, you will never make a dent in your debts. If you become the target of a belligerent collection agency, it can be overwhelming, but you need to know your rights and what these debt collectors can and cannot do.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) which was enacted in 1977, protects consumers against unfair collection practices. It and penalizes agencies that use unfair practices like those below:

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Intentionally reporting incorrect information to the credit bureaus
  • Posing as law enforcement officers to frighten you into paying
  • Calling anyone except you, your spouse, or attorney about the debt
  • Failing to send a debt validation letter within five days of first contacting you
  • Harassing you over a debt that you never incurred

Procollect sent me a letter saying that I owe Rosen at North Hills Apartments/Brazos $1,499.62 from an apartment that I moved from to another apartment due to having issues with a neighbor. I currently still live out here in the apartment complex but another apartment. I could not have moved to another apartment if I owed a debt. I have been living out here since 2013 until current. This letter has caused me a lot if stress. When I moved out here in 2013 it was called Arbor Crest Apartments. I have not received any letter from my landlord saying that I owe this amount. I live in Raleigh NC and this letter is from Texas.
