Lang, Richert, & Patch Phone Calls

LRP collects debt on contingency. This means that they do not get paid until they collect what they believe you owe. This can make some debt collection agencies more aggressive in their collections practice. Some will call using an auto-dialer because it cuts down on the hours spent to collect. This is NOT okay. You have rights under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act TCPA that protect you.

Your Rights Under the TCPA

• Auto-dialers cannot call your cell phone without written consent.
• If you have asked then not to call, you must be put on a do not call list for the company.
• A past business relationship is no longer a way to get around having written consent
• You can sue for TCPA violations and can get up to $1500 per call
