Are You Being Called By Radius Global Solutions, LLC?*

You have rights, and if Radius Global Solutions is calling you, you may want to learn more about them.

If your monthly debt payments go into arrears, you will eventually hear from debt collectors. While many are civil, an unfortunate number will yell at you over the phone, threaten to seize your assets, or embarrass you by discussing the debt with your friends and co-workers.

If this happens, know what your rights and what you can do to fight back.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, limits what third-party debt collectors can say or do when communicating with you about an alleged debt. If they use methods like those below to intimidate you, they’re breaking the law and can face substantial fines.

• Using profane and obscene language
• Pretending to be attorneys or police officers
• Raising their voice and making threats
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Refusing to provide proof that you owe a debt and they are authorized to collect it
