When dealing with debt collection agencies you may not know all the rules and laws that have been put in place to protect you and your rights. Listed below are some of the actions that you should familiarize yourself with so that you are not taken advantage of and harassed by these companies.
We all aim to pay our bills as they come in, but we all know that things happen and payments are missed. When this happens our debts sometimes get sent to debt collection agencies.
So what is it that these companies cannot do or say to use when in communication about our debt?
If the collectors you are talking to start cursing or swearing at you in an attempt to get money from you, you can be sure that this is a highly illegal practice. Be sure to take note of the caller, time called, and words used.
Debt handled by debt collection agencies is not a criminal offense and cannot result in jail time. Some unlawful agencies may use this tactic to scare you- this is not okay.
These agencies must be completely upfront with who they are, who the creditor is and the true amount that you owe and the true deadline. Use of bogus information or communication is not allowed.
If you think a creditor has broken the law- call Francis Mailman Soumilas, P.C. to discuss your case and your options.
