Are You Being Called By Rushmore Service Center, LLC?*

Debt can impact your quality of life, especially if debt collectors are being relentless. Your phone may ring off the hook. Rude demand letters may fill your mailbox. Perhaps a debt collector has harassed and embarrassed you at work. The good news is that you can make it stop.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

While debt collectors are allowed to request payment for a debt you genuinely owe, a consumer protection law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) makes it illegal for them to use aggressive collection actions like the following:

• Using profane and obscene language
• Claiming to be attorneys or police officers
• Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Threatening to take your house
• Contacting you after you have formally requested that all communications cease
• Reporting false information to the credit bureaus
