Stop Collection Agency Debt Harassment.

“I fell behind on my bills, now what? When you fall behind on your debts, you can take solace in that you are not alone. Thousands of Americans each year have a debt placed in collections for various reasons. Once a consumer finds themselves in this situation there are two main things to deal with: addressing the debt and dealing with the collection efforts. It is important to know that while collection companies and collecting agents have the right to try to collect on a valid debt, there are rules that control how the collectors can go about collecting on the debt.

All too often everyday Americans deal with bill collector harassment. Debt collection harassment is often used by collectors to harass a payment from a consumer. Many times, the consumer does not even realize what the collector is doing is illegal. Collections harassment is a real thing and something that consumers should not have to deal with.

Debt Collection Harassment Examples

The Federal Debt Collection Protection Act, also known as the FDCPA, makes it illegal for a debt collector to harass, oppress, or abuse anyone else they contact regarding the loan. If the debt collector engages in any of the following tactics, you may have a case:

Using profanity or abusive language

Calling you before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.

Calling you multiple times per week

Talking to others about your debt

Calling your workplace

Threatening to sue you, harm you, or destroy your credit

Telling you or anyone else that you’ve committed a crime

Calling repeatedly for the wrong person

Failing to notify you of your right to dispute the debt

Trying to collect more than legally allowed
