You don’t have to endure collection agencies calling you at work. If Glass Mountain Capital LLC is calling you at work, you have the right to tell the debt collector to stop calling you.
Even though it is not illegal for Glass Mountain Capital, LLC to call you at work, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not allow debt collectors to call you at work if the debt collector has “reason to know” that your employer forbids those kinds of calls.
In order to give the debt collector “reason to know” you just need to tell them either on the phone or in writing that your employer doesn’t allow those types of phone calls or that they need to stop calling you at work.
Methods for Stopping Debt Collectors From Calling You At Work
The FDCPA gives consumers rights that protect them from being harassed at work by debt collectors. If you tell a debt collector to stop calling you at work and they don’t there are a few different things that you can do.
You can always ignore their calls, and that’s what a lot of people do. If you do talk to the debt collector and the person you’re talking to is rude or disrespectful or abusive you can just hang up.
Another way that you can deal with their calls is to inform them that you are recording their calls. Many of them will hang up if you do that. But recording their calls can help you if you decide to file a claim later on. Lastly, you can send them a formal notice to have them to stop contacting you.
