Are You Being Called By Servis One, Inc.*? Here’s What You Need to Know
Debt collectors don’t always take notice of state and federal consumer protection laws. This is why you need to be informed about your rights when you owe a debt and a collection agency makes your life miserable trying to collect it.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, gives consumers the right to dispute a debt and tell a collector to stop contacting them. It also prohibits the use of methods like the following to collect a debt.
- Threatening to sue you or garnish your wages
- Using abusive or profane language over the phone
- Chasing you over someone else’s debt
- Calling you at inconvenient times and places
- Pretending that they have filed a lawsuit against you when they have not
- Trying to collect a debt discharged in an earlier bankruptcy
