Called By Receivables Management Consultants Corporation?

Some people spend nearly 10% of their wages on credit card payments. This is hard financially when you are working, but if you become too sick to work and arrears accumulate, debt collectors will soon be in touch. Some of them will also be less than civil.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

If a debt collector is harassing you, they’re actually breaking federal law and can be fined or lose their license. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, prohibits abusive tactics like the following when used to collect a debt.

• Calling at inconvenient hours
• Threatening action they are not in a position to legally take
• Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease
• Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors
• Using profane and obscene language
• Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
