Stop National Recoveries Harassment
If you have received harassing phone calls from debt collectors, you have the right to file a consumer complaint with the Better Business Bureau or seek the counsel of an attorney. When found guilty of FDCPA violations in a lawsuit, a debt collection agency may be held liable for actual damages, in addition to up to $1000 in statutory damages.
There are strict provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act that place limitations on the ways debt collections agencies may contact you and speak to you. For instance, they may not use derogatory language, may not curse at you or use profane or offensive language while speaking with you, and they may not try to embarrass or intimidate as a means of coercing you into paying your debt.
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a debt collection agency must identify themselves each time they contact a consumer, whether in writing or on the telephone. They may not misrepresent themselves and imply that they are associated with or represented by a lawyer if they are not. When a debt collection agency contacts you to collect a debt, they must state in clear terms that they are contacting you in an attempt to collect a debt.
