Are You Being Called By Troy Capital, LLC?*

When a debt collector demands payment from you, they may tell you that you have no choice but to pay the debt. This is not true. If you don’t owe the money or the debt is too old to be collected, you can order the collection agency to stop contacting you.

If they refuse, the law allows you to file a lawsuit and seek compensation.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

A consumer protection law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) grants you certain rights when communicating with debt collectors. If a collection agency uses any of these ruses to bully or deceive you into paying, you can take legal action.

• Threatening to destroy your credit
• Calling your friends and relatives even after they have located you
• Leaving voice messages that do not clearly identify the caller as a debt collector
• Ignoring your request for written verification of the debt
• Continuing to collect after receiving a written cease communications notice
• Calling you at times they know are inconvenient for you
