Report an FDCPA Violation by Roquemore & Roquemore Inc*
If you have been harassed in any way by a debt collection service like Roquemore & Roquemore Inc. you might be able to restrict their behavior by using the federal law known as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This limits how often a debt collector can harass you and puts restrictions on phone calls and visits to your home.
You may lodge a complaint with a number of authorities which may impose penalties on unlawful behavior. If that does not solve the problem you may file a lawsuit to get the compensation you deserve.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has much experience providing a mediator in cases like yours and that is between you and the debt collector if you are engaged in a dispute, or you have complaints about their behavior.
