Aggressive, harassing debt collection calls on the rise
Fri, 01/29/2010 - 16:11 — Consumers Law
According to a recent survey, debt collectors have been getting more aggressive and persistent with their collection calls. These can lead to violations of a consumer protection statute, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. From creditcards.com:
Forty percent of respondents in a national Scripps Howard survey answered yes to at least one of the following questions:
- Has a debt collection agency ever threatened you with violence?
- Have you or your family ever received multiple calls from a debt collection agency, so many that it seemed to you to be harassment?
- Has a debt collection agency telephoned you or your family at inappropriate times of the day, such as before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.?
If you've been victimized by harrassing or abusive calls - contact us, we can help!
