FALSE AND MISREPRESENTING CLAIMS FROM COLLECTION AGENCIES

Has a debt collector made any false or misrepresenting claims? Have they said something that is not true or could be misleading? It is a violation of your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) for a collection agency such as Asset Recovery Associates to make any false or misrepresenting claims.

The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) is a law set up to protect the consumer from debt collection harassment. There have been numerous instances in which agents from Asset Recovery Associates have violated consumer’s rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
