Are You Being Called By Teri Loan Holdings, LLC?*

Many people today live paycheck to paycheck because the cost of living has gone up while wages have not followed suit. If you lose your job and don’t find another one soon, your credit card accounts, mortgage, and other debts could go into arrears and debt collectors will start calling.

• Calling you at all hours of the day and night
• Subjecting you to rude and profane language
• Ignoring your written cease communications notice
• Pretending to be the sheriff or other law enforcement figure
• Implying that court action is imminent when this is not the case
• Refusing to prove that they are authorized to collect the debt
