Called By Trident Financial Network, Inc.? Here’s What to Know

Stop the
Harassment

You have legal rights. We can help.

 


When debt collectors are after you every day, it can be highly stressful. It’s even worse when the company handling your account is belittling and abusive when you can’t afford to pay. Before thinking about bankruptcy, contact a consumer attorney, because collectors who treat you this way are breaking the law.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was established in 1977 to combat collection agencies that were harassing consumers into bankruptcy. This consumer protection law makes it illegal for debt collectors to use methods like the following to collect a debt.

  • Using obscene or profane language
  • Trying to collect after you have formally disputed a debt
  • Harassing you by telephone (e.g. calling and hanging up)
  • Calling at inconvenient times, usually before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m
  • Discussing your debt with anyone except you, your spouse, or your attorney
  • Calling you at work
