Are You Being Called By Rozlin Financial Group, Inc.?*

The average household in the U.S. carries a credit card balance of $15,000. This means that some people are contributing nearly 9% of their income towards paying down the interest alone.

This is difficult enough when you are working full time, but if you lose your job and the debt goes into arrears, debt collectors will soon be calling and, very likely, making things worse for you. However, that’ll only be the scenario if you let them do that to you.

You have legal options available to you if you’re being harassed over your debt—no matter how large it is.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 to protect indebted consumers from being abused by third-party collection agencies. This federal law prohibits debt collectors from using tactics like the following to pressure you into paying.

• Swearing and using profane language
• Demanding amounts that exceed the original debt
• Talking to uninvolved parties such as your friends, family, and co-workers about the debt
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Claiming that they will send the police to arrest you if you don’t pay
• Pretending to be members of law enforcement
