Are you being called by Sure Check Brokerage, Inc.?* Here’s what you need to know

It is an unfortunate fact that many collection agencies refuse to recognize boundaries when it comes to settling a debt. They will call you at work, discuss your debt with your neighbors, and threaten to seize your home. What they’re doing is highly illegal, but they hope that you will be too unfamiliar with your rights to protest.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits third-party debt collectors from behaving in ways that push people to the point of bankruptcy. It restricts what collection agencies can do to collect a debt, and effectively bans tactics like those listed below.

  • Telling your friends, neighbors, and co-workers that you owe money
  • Refusing to validate the debt upon request
  • Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors seeking to collect a debt
  • Calling you at work after being informed that such calls are prohibited
  • Contacting you after you formally requested that all communications cease
  • Swearing and calling names
