Are you experiencing debt collector harassment?
Even if the debt hasn’t gone into collections YET – it will…
Debt Collector Harassment Tactics:
Here are some harassing illegal tactics, debt collectors may try to use:
- Use or also threaten to use violence or criminal means to harm you, your reputation or your property; or
- Use obscene or profane language; or
- Advertise that you owe a debt; or also advertise your debt for sale;
- Cause a telephone to ring repeatedly or continuously with the intent to annoy or harass; or also place telephone calls without meaningful disclosures of their identity.
- False or also misleading representations. Debt collectors may not misrepresent the truth. A debt collector cannot pretend to be anyone except a debt collector. The collector must tell the person who allegedly owes the debt that the debt collector is trying to collect the debt and may not deceive you by: using a false company or creditor name; implying the communication is from anyone other than a debt collector;
- Misrepresenting the amount of the debt owed;
- Threatening to disseminate false credit information about you;
- Falsely representing they’re government representatives;
- Threatening legal action that is illegal or that they do not intend to take;
- Representing falsely that you have committed a crime or that you will be arrested or imprisoned;
- Falsely implying that the debt collector is employed by a credit bureau;
- Falsely implying that they’re attorneys or that also an attorney is involved in the collection of the debt; or falsely indicating the legal status of papers or forms sent to you;
- Using any words or symbols in their notices to make the person who allegedly owes the debt think the notices are legal documents when they are not; or sending you something that resembles an official document from a court or governmental agency.
Other prohibited unfair practices debt collection agencies may not partake in includes:
►Trying to collect an amount greater than what you owe;
►deposit a postdated check prior to the date on the check;
►Communicating with you about a debt by postcard;
►Using envelopes that reveal information indicating that the sender is a debt-collection agency;
►Cause you to incur a communication expense, such as a collect telephone call charge, telegram fee, wire fee, or other similar charge, through the concealment of the true purpose of the communication;
►Garnish your wages or also take your home or possessions without a court judgment. (*An exception exists for federally guaranteed student loans that are already in default.)
