Credit Control Services, Inc. Debt Collection Harassment?
Is Credit Control Services, Inc. harassing you over a debt?
Debt collection calls are scary for most people. Nobody going about their daily business wants to get interrupted with calls from a debt collector talking about a debt they probably have even forgotten.
Debt collection calls could be stressful and threaten to wear you out. This is why you must be aware of your rights.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law that puts boundaries on the activities of debt collectors. According to the FDCPA, debt collectors are not allowed to employ unfair and deceptive debt collection methods in their pursuit of a debt.
If a debt collector is harassing you, lying to you about a debt, or calling you about a debt you do not owe, they are violating your rights, and you should hold them accountable for their actions. Call us on 877-700-5790 if you’re experiencing any form of debt collection harassment. If a debt collector violates your rights, you may be entitled to statutory damages up to $1000.00 plus the debt collector is responsible for paying for your attorney fees.
Do I have to pay a debt just because a debt collector called?
Many people make the mistake of assuming that just because a debt collector calls them and tells them about a debt, they have to pay. This is wrong.
There are many reasons why you should not pay a debt and they include:
- If the debt isn’t yours: Some customers get tired of debt collection calls and decide to just pay off the debt to put an end to the calls. Do not do this! There is nothing distinguished about paying a debt that isn’t yours because it simply places the responsibility for the whole debt on you.
- If the debt collector is lying about the debt amount: The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from telling lies of any sort as regards a debt. If a debt collector is not being honest to you about a debt, you have the right to refrain from paying until they can send you proof that they are right about the amount.
- When you are unable to verify or validate the debt: When a debt collector calls you about a debt, you are allowed to ask then to verify the debt by giving you sufficient details about the debt, amount, and creditor. This is called a debt validation request, demanding that the debt collector sends you proof that you owe the debt. If a debt collection agency fails to send you proof upon request, you may just be a victim of identity theft, debt collection scammers, or you may not actually owe the debt.

Thinking about opting for Credit Control LLC settlement?
If you are considering opting for debt settlement with Credit Control Corp, then there are definitely some things you should know. First, we will start by defining what debt settlement (otherwise known as debt relief) is.
Debt settlement is a method through which a person may resolve their delinquent debts for way less than the actual amount. It works by making a lump payment to your lender; this amount is, however, usually a lot less than the amount that is actually owed. Opting for a debt settlement may be a great idea, as you may be able to pay as low as 10 or 50% of the amount you owe (depending on the negotiation agreement you have with your creditor or third-party collector). It is also a great way to avoid getting mixed up in a Credit Control LLC lawsuit over the non-payment of your debt.
When it comes down to entering a debt settlement arrangement with Credit Control Corporation, negotiation is key. You have two options here:
- You either negotiate a deal with Credit Control Corporation by yourself, or
- You hire a debt settlement firm to negotiate on your behalf.
It goes without saying that getting professionals involved in the negotiation is bound to yield better results, however, you should note that debt settlement firms often require a fee which is often a percentage of the total amount of debt you have when you come to them. Nevertheless, you’ll be charged only when your debt is settled.
Note that the amount of debt that is forgiven may be taxable, as the IRS terms it taxable income. This, however, can be avoided if you can prove that the total amount of liabilities you have far outweigh your total number of assets.
To get the best results from your intended debt settlement, speak with a debt collection attorney or a certified public accountant about the option that is best recommended for you.
Credit Control Corporation pay for delete.
A pay-for-delete arrangement is quite similar to a debt settlement offer. Here, you offer a lump payment to Credit Control collections, and in exchange, they stop reporting the debt on your credit report. This may or may not work. Again, you should call a debt collection attorney for expert advice.
