Are You Being Called By Recovery of Judgment, LLC?*

Although the economy is growing, thousands of Americans struggle with debt. If you are receiving calls and letters from debt collectors, it’s important to know that they have to be professional and ethical when dealing with you. To behave otherwise is illegal and many collection agencies would prefer that you didn’t know that.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, provides rights and protections to indebted consumers. Third-party collection agencies are prohibited from using tactics like the following to make you pay:

• Threatening legal action they cannot take or have no intention of taking

• Threatening to call your company’s payroll department and garnish your wages

• Calling you at inconvenient times and places

• Swearing, raising their voice, and calling you names

• Claiming that you owe an amount that’s not supported by law or the original creditor agreement

• Harassing you even after you have retained an attorney regarding the debt
