Are You Being Called by RCS Recovery Services, LLC? Here’s What You Need to Know*

When a debt collector buys or is assigned to your account, their goal is to obtain payment as quickly as possible. To achieve this ambition, they can be aggressive to the point of hostility. It is therefore important that you understand your rights, as well as how to make any abusive conduct stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from debt collector misconduct. Under the FDCPA, actions like the following are illegal and can even get a collection agency shut down.

• Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
• Cursing and swearing at you
• Calling you constantly and hanging up
• Calling you at work when your workplace does not allow such calls
• Threatening legal actions that they have no intention of taking
• Refusing to validate the debt
