Are debt collectors constantly threatening to garnish your wages or seize your property if you don’t pay them immediately and in full? If so, they are breaking the law. As a consumer, you have rights that protect you from such mistreatment, no matter how much money you owe.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects indebted consumers from being deceived, intimidated, and otherwise mistreated by third-party debt collectors. Collection actions like those below are illegal when used to pressure you into paying a debt.
- Swearing, yelling, and calling you names
- Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe money
- Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease
- Failing or refusing to identify themselves as debt collectors
- Demanding amounts not supported by the law or the original creditor agreement
- Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone

Alleged Violations against Real Time Resolutions, Inc.
According to PACER, on or around November 1, 2012, a Las Vegas couple pulled their credit reports after applying for a mortgage loan. They saw that Real Time Resolutions, Inc. was reporting a debt originally owed to Bank of America, which had been charged off sometime in 2009. According to the information submitted to the credit bureaus, the debt was still active, causing the couple to be turned down for a loan.
Feeling harassed by Real Time Resolutions, Inc., they hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA in the following ways:
- Reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus
- Using false, deceptive and misleading means to collect a debt
The matter was later dismissed.
