Good Article: 5 Things Debt Collectors Are Forbidden To Do

Below I am linking an article by Amy Fontinelle with a good summary of what debt collectors are not supposed to be doing.  Unfortunately, certain collectors do not follow the law.  If you are having these issues with a debt collector, you may have a Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violation case.  You may also need to consider filing bankruptcy to rid yourself of the underlying debt.  Contact an attorney immediately. These types of cases can have short time limits on when you can file a case.

We offer free consultations for both FDCPA cases and bankruptcies.  You have nothing to lose.  Call (256)778-1644 or click here to contact us electronically.
