Often, lenders and financial institutions enlist the help of a third-party debt collector. Sometimes the debt is sold to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar, so they will aggressively pursue the debt trying to make a profit. Sometimes federal laws are violated, such as the FDCPA.
If you are harassed by a debt collector, such as Synerprise Consulting Services, Inc., you have the right to pursue a claim against them for your damages and get the harassment stopped.
Phone Harassment That Are FDCPA Violations
Because of unethical and unscrupulous debt collecting practices, the FDCPA was enacted. This act was designed to limit the contact that a debt collector has with a consumer, and it is to ensure the consumer is treated with respect and common courtesy.
If the debt collector is calling you continuously and at odd hours, then the FDCPA is being violated and you can pursue a claim for damages. Here are some signs of harassment and FDCPA violation:
- Calling at unapproved times – before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m.
- Making false claims of being a police officer
- Making numerous calls throughout the day
- Threatening to harm you
