Credit Recovery Systems LLC Debt Collection Harassment❓
Debt collection agencies like Credit Recovery Systems LLC are third-party agents tasked with the job of recovering your debts either on behalf of your original creditor or independently. Most of the time, creditors don’t want to bring in a debt collection agency to resolve your debt issues. However, if it looks like a situation that will involve a customer defaulting payment for a long period of time, they might. In such a case, your original creditor will sell your debt to a collection agency like Credit Recovery Systems LLC for pennies on the dollar, and the collection agency will then try to collect the full debt from you, thereby making a profit in the process.
Our best advice? If you owe a debt to an original creditor, settle it quickly. It is best to settle your debts before it’s sent to the likes of Credit Recovery Systems LLC, however, if the debt has already been transferred, then it is still not too late. Contact the debt collector in charge of your payments, explain your situation and try to reach a settlement agreement or to create a payment plan. Usually, debt collectors are willing to help you do so.

Understanding Debt Collection
Debt collection is a process where a debt collector, such as Credit Recovery Systems LLC, attempts to collect past due debt from consumers. This process typically involves sending letters or making phone calls to request payment. It’s important to know that debt collectors must follow federal law and respect consumers’ rights during the collection process.
Consumers have the right to dispute debts and request validation of the debt from the debt collector. This means that if you receive a notice from Credit Recovery Systems LLC, you can ask them to provide proof that the debt is yours and that the amount is correct. Debt collectors are required to provide you with written notice of the debt, including the amount owed and the name of the creditor.
When responding to debt collectors, it’s crucial to keep a record of all communication. You can respond by mail or phone, but make sure to document every interaction. Remember, debt collectors are not allowed to use abusive or harassing language when communicating with you. If you believe a debt collector has violated your rights, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The Laws That Protect You Against Debt Harassment
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was originally enacted in 1977 and underwent an amendment in 1996. The amendment was necessary, as an alarming number of complaints about the unfair tactics collection agencies were using to coerce people into paying their debts became much too rampant.
One thing you should know about the FDCPA is that it does not apply to the original creditor from whom you originally loaned the debt; the FDCPA applies only to debt collection agencies.
According to the FDCPA, “a debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt.”
This is easy enough to understand. The law also gives instances of unfair treatment by debt collectors which is punishable by the FDCPA. They are:
- ⚠️ Using threat, violence or other injurious means to harm a person, their reputation or property
- 🗣️ Using obscene or profane language in their communications with you
- 🏛️ False representation where Credit Recovery Systems LLC misrepresents itself a state or federal government authority.
- 🛑 Feeding you with misleading information on the amount or legal status of the debt you owe is also considered an unfair debt collection practice.
- ⚖️ Credit Recovery Systems LLC falsely implying that they are an attorney or law enforcement officers.
- 🚨 Leading you to believe that the nonpayment of the debt you owe will result in your arrest or imprisonment
- 📞 Causing your telephone to ring repeatedly with intent to annoy, abuse or harass you.
Any of this sound familiar? Don’t hesitate to reach out to a qualified consumer rights attorney by calling (877)-700-5790. You may have the right to take legal action against the debt collection agency in court.
