Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Violations

Debt collectors have a history of abusive and misleading behavior. Unsurprisingly, many debtors dread picking up the phone for fear that a harassing, angry debt collector will be on the other end threatening them. Fortunately, the U.S. Congress responded to this history of abuse and passed the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA. This federal law places strict limits on debt collectors and gives debtors a right to relief when they are harassed. Debt collectors know how to squeeze money out of people, usually by calling and calling at all hours of the day. There is no reason to put up with this behavior anymore. Scott J. Goldstein can protect your rights.
