Understanding Your Rights
When you’re contacted by a debt collector like Selip & Stylianou LLP, it’s crucial to know your rights as a consumer. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that protects consumers from abusive, deceptive, or unfair debt collection tactics. Under the FDCPA, debt collectors—including law firms like Selip & Stylianou LLP—are prohibited from harassing you, making false statements, or using unfair practices to collect a debt. If you feel overwhelmed by phone calls, threats of legal action, or pressure to pay a debt you don’t recognize, you have legal options.
If you’re sued by Selip & Stylianou LLP in civil court, it’s essential to respond to the lawsuit promptly. Ignoring a court notice can result in a default judgment against you, which may allow the firm to pursue wage garnishment or freeze your bank account. Always review any notice or letter you receive, and consider consulting a lawyer who understands debt collection laws in New York State or New Jersey. A lawyer can help you answer the complaint, dispute the debt, or even file a counterclaim if your rights have been violated.
You also have the right to request verification of the debt. If you believe there’s an error, or if you don’t recognize the account, you can send a written request for proof that the debt belongs to you and that the amount is correct. Debt buyers like Midland Funding often purchase old debts from original creditors, such as banks or credit card companies, and sometimes lack the necessary documentation to support their claims. If the collector cannot provide adequate proof, you may be able to have the case dismissed.
In New York State, additional consumer protections require debt collectors to provide a written notice detailing the amount owed and the name of the original creditor. If you want the calls and letters to stop, you can send a cease and desist letter (also known as a desist letter) to Selip & Stylianou LLP, instructing them to cease all communication. Once they receive your request, they are legally obligated to stop most forms of contact, except to notify you of specific actions like filing a lawsuit.

Success Stories
🏆 I wish there was an option to select more stars. I was getting harassed by a debt collector. They would call me (and my mother?!), threaten to sue me and overall extremely unprofessional. I found CRLF on Google, read the reviews and immediately texted them. This was around 11pm. Scott texted back within 10 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! He was extremely patient with me, reassured me when I was crying on the phone, and quite literally took a weight off my shoulders. I had no idea this was even possible with what they deal with, but Scott was/is a God-sent. Please let them help you! You will NOT regret it.
🏆 I reached out needing help. Scott contacted me right away and reassured me everything was going to be ok. And took care of all my worries. He was an amazing help and I’m grateful for his service. And they guaranteed I would not have to pay a dime. Very thankful.
