Are You Being Called By Solutions to Portfolios, LLC*? Here’s What You Need to Know

Are debt collectors calling you on a routine basis? If so, they may be breaking the law. While collection agencies are legally permitted to contact you about settling an outstanding debt balance, they are not allowed to pursue you to the extent that you feel harassed.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, prohibits bullying, deception, and manipulation during the debt collection process. Any collection agency that crosses the line in this manner faces fines and even license revocation.

  • Using profane and obscene language
  • Threatening consequences they cannot legally inflict, or have no intention of carrying out
  • Calling at all hours of the day and night
  • Contacting you at work if you are not allowed to receive calls there
  • Demanding an amount that’s not supported by law or the original creditor agreement
  • Discussing your debt with anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
