American Profit Recovery Phone Harassment❓

Are they calling you at all hours or several times a day? Are they telling your family and neighbors that you owe a debt? If so what they are doing is illegal and needs to stop.

If a collection agency violates the FDCPA, you may be eligible to receive up to $1000.00 in statutory damages, along with covering your attorney fees.

Debt Collection Process

The debt collection process typically begins when a creditor or debt buyer like American Profit Recovery attempts to recover unpaid debts. If you fall behind on payments, your account may be sent to collections, either internally or to a third-party agency.

Collectors often start by sending letters and making phone calls demanding payment. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), they must provide a written notice within five days of first contact, detailing the debt amount and your right to dispute it.

However, some agencies violate these rules by using harassment, threats, or misleading statements to pressure consumers. If you dispute the debt within 30 days, the collector must verify it before continuing collection efforts.

If they fail to follow legal procedures—such as calling at odd hours, contacting your employer, or refusing to validate the debt—you may have grounds for a lawsuit under consumer protection laws.

Consulting a firm like Consumer Rights Law Firm PLLC can help stop illegal tactics and potentially secure compensation for violations.
