STOP HARASSMENT BY DEBT COLLECTORS
Putting a halt to harassment by persistent, often unscrupulous debt collectors is a team effort.  At your initial free consultation, we will explain the legal rules that debt collectors must, but often do not, follow.  You will be given an evidence log and instructions for identifying unlawful harassment.  With your help, we will prosecute unlawful collection efforts and seek money damages for your benefit, all at no cost to you.  The following are examples of unlawful collection activities:

Debt Collectors Violate the Law When They:
  • Call you at work despite you or your employer’s requests to stop.
  • Call you at home despite your requests to stop.
  • Make abusive or harassing phone calls to you.
  • Talk to others about your debt.
  • Add unauthorized collection charges to your account.
  • Threaten you with criminal prosecution or reporting to Internal Revenue Service.
  • Threaten you with garnishment unless they already have a judgment against you.
  • Do not state the exact amount of the debt in initial demand letters.
  • Insist on payment within less than 30 days of their initial demand letter.
  • Bad debt buyers attempting to collect old debts they cannot substantiate.
  • Fail to notify you of your right to ask that they verify the debt they are collecting.
  • Fail to give you a written notice of the debt within five days after you are first contacted.
