Are you being called by Rent Recovery Solutions, LLC?* Here’s what you need to know.

Most of us have missed the occasional bill payment, and creditors are usually pretty good about letting up make up the arrears. But when financial hardship causes us to miss several payments in succession, there’s a good chance that we’ll be hearing from a debt collector soon. This can make a stressful situation even worse, as collection agencies are known to use threats and intimidation to make debtors pay.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

In 1977 Congress enacted the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, to regulate the conduct of third-party collection agencies. Any company that uses strategies like those below can be fined or lose their license.

• Calling someone at all hours of the day and night
• Leaving voice messages that do not identify the collector and the purpose of their call
• Telling someone that they will be arrested if they don’t pay
• Calling at inconvenient times, such as before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Calling you at work when they know that your employer prohibits such calls
• Trying to collect an amount that is not authorized by law or the original creditor agreement

Alleged Violations against Rent Recovery Solutions, LLC

According to PACER, on or about October 22, 2015, a Georgia resident obtained a copy of his credit report and saw that Rent Recovery Solutions, LLC had reported an earlier debt as being in active collection, although he had included it in a previous bankruptcy case. This ongoing attempt to collect was in violation of the automatic stay issued when he filed for bankruptcy.
Feeling harassed by Rent Recovery Solutions, LLC, he hired a consumer attorney and sued the company for allegedly violating the FDCPA by:

• Reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus
