What happens when your American home furniture credit card debt gets transferred to a debt collector?
As an esteemed customer, when you owe debts on your American furniture credit card, they will often try to resolve the issue with you directly without involving a third party, however, if the issue gets out of hand, and you are incredibly late on your American furniture warehouse credit card payments, they may transfer your debt to a collection agency.
As we mentioned earlier, original creditors like American Home don’t necessarily want to bring in a third-party debt collector; they are only left with this choice when it becomes clear that you are unwilling or unable to resolve the debts you have amassed on your American furniture credit card. When this happens, American Home will either transfer your debt to a third-party agency for collections (upon which they earn a commission), or sell it to them for pennies on a dollar. This way, the collection agency will turn a profit if they are able to recover the full debt amount from you.
If you are way behind payments on your AFW credit card, then we advise that you act sooner, rather than later, as remaining behind on your American furniture warehouse payments can lead to serious consequences like lawsuits and wage garnishment.
Nevertheless, regardless of the amount you owe on your Comenity American home card, there are certain things that third-party debt collectors cannot do in the process of collecting a debt. They are listed below.
What Debt Collectors are prohibited from doing
Under the FDCPA (the rule which protects consumers like you from unscrupulous practices engaged in by debt collectors), a collector trying to recover your American furniture warehouse credit card debt cannot do any of the following:
- Threaten you with violence, corporal harm, arrest, or jail time
- Use harassing, obscene, and profane language
- Falsely imply that the non-payment of your home furnishings credit card makes you a criminal
- Threatening to repossess or other seize your property without first going through the proper court proceedings
- Causing your phone to ring unnecessarily by making anonymous or repeated phone calls with the intent to annoy, harass, or abuse.
- Failing to disclose their name and details about the debt they want to recover.
- Failing to disclose your American furniture warehouse financing options, such as the fact that you may dispute a debt you do not agree with and the collections will be halted until the collector is able to prove the debt is valid and yours.
If you have faced harassment over your American home furniture credit card debt in any of the ways listed above, now may be the best time to get in touch with an attorney.
