Statute of Limitations Expired for SRS and Associates Inc.*


Debt collection agencies operate on the principle that it is a good thing to keep consumers in the dark. They say what you do not know cannot hurt you. However, it is wise to learn as much as you can about consumer protection laws.

Did you know third party debt collectors such as SRS and Associates Inc. have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit in pursuing the collection of delinquent consumer debt?

In some states, the statute of limitations is four years, while other states grant bill collectors more time to file lawsuits against consumers. One of the first things you must do after receiving a letter or a phone call from SRS and Associates Inc. involves determining the debt collection statute of limitations in your state.

Although you can perform research online, you might as well speak with a consumer protection lawyer who can help you fight back against a debt collection agency. Remember that the statute of limitations applies only to the filing of a lawsuit.

A third party debt collector can still try to contact you, although under a landmark consumer protection law, you can stop all forms of communication as well.

Get Legal Help Drafting the Letter

It is imperative you hire a consumer protection lawyer to draft a letter to SRS and Associates Inc. By hiring a lawyer, you ensure the letter avoids using emotionally charged language that motivates a bill collector to try harder in the attempt to collect on an outstanding debt.

Moreover, your lawyer knows every consumer protection granted by the groundbreaking Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The United States Congress passed the FDCPA in 1977 to level the legal playing field between consumers and debt collection agencies.

At the center of the FDCPA is the prohibition of disrespectful treatment of consumers that includes third party debt collectors making threats or using abusive language. A debt collection agency like SRS and Associates Inc is allowed to call you only between 8 am and 9 pm.

Any phone calls you receive from a bill collector after the permitted time frame is grounds to seek actual damages, which represents another powerful reason to speak with a FDCPA lawyer.
