You have rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) which prohibits debt collectors from engaging in harassing behavior. We can help you send a cease communication letter to stop the calls and also send a debt validation letter to ensure the collection agency has the legal right to collect this debt. If they continue to harass you or fail to validate the debt, we can explore further legal action.
I am being called repeatedly by a collection agency for an old utility bill. What are my rights and how can your firm assist me?
