Stopping Harassing Collection Practices - How Wilkie Puchi LLP Can Protect You
Are you overwhelmed by creditors using aggressive and harassing collection practices? You’re not alone. Debt collectors often resort to illegal tactics to pressure individuals and businesses into paying debts. At Wilkie Puchi LLP, we specialize in protecting debtors from these unfair practices, ensuring that your rights are upheld and your dignity is preserved.
Understanding Harassment by Creditors
Debt collection harassment can take many forms, some of which may be subtle but equally damaging. Common tactics include:
Excessive Calls: Repeated, unwanted calls to your home, workplace, or family members.
Threatening Behavior: Using intimidation, abusive language, or threats of arrest.
Misrepresentation: Misleading you about the debt’s status, amount owed, or legal consequences.
Privacy Violations: Disclosing debt information to third parties without your consent.
Legal Protections You Need to Know
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), such behaviors are not only unethical but also illegal. However, creditors often rely on debtors’ lack of awareness to exploit these tactics. The FDCPA is a federal law designed to shield you from these aggressive tactics. It includes provisions that:
Prohibit debt collectors from contacting you at unreasonable hours.
Mandate that collectors stop communication if requested in writing.
Prevent collectors from making false statements about the consequences of non-payment.
Understanding your rights under the FDCPA is the first step toward protecting yourself.
