Stop Patenaude & Felix Harassment
If you are being harassed by a debt collector, you don’t have to put up with abusive practices. Are they attempting to collect a debt that you’ve already paid or claiming that you owe a debt that belongs to someone else? Have they used abusive and demeaning language toward you? Do they call you at all hours of the night? If so, you need to be aware of the rights and protections you have under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act restricts the abusive and unfair practices that many collection agencies use when they attempt to collect a past due debt. It gives you certain rights to help protect you from those practices and gives you tools to fight back against them, even if you legitimately owe the debt. Bill collectors often get away with bullying people because they count on them being uninformed about the rights given to them by the FDCPA.
If a debt collector violates any provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you have the right to take them to court. If you are successful in your lawsuit, they may have to pay you up to $1,000, plus court costs and attorney’s expenses. An experienced consumer rights attorney can help you decide if you have a case against a debt collection agency, and if so, help you file a suit. If you experience these violations, you should document the time and date of the call and write up a summary of it, including any specific things that were said in the conversation so that you will have evidence of their violation.
