San Fernando Valley Creditor Harassment Attorney
Are you being harassed by debt collectors?
Increasingly, more and more Americans are falling behind on their debts, increasing the likelihood that they will be contacted by creditors and collection agencies attempting to collect the debt. While creditors have the right to attempt to collect money owed to them, they do not have the right to harass or abuse you while doing so. If you have received threatening letters and calls and have had enough, contact a San Fernando Valley bankruptcy attorney to get quick relief from the stress and worry.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects your rights from creditors who may violate the law when contacting you. These laws outline exactly what creditors and debt collectors can and cannot do when attempting to collect a debt. Some of the abusive behavior creditors have attempted include:
- Using foul and obscene language
- Threatening to get you thrown in jail
- Pretending to be from the government
- Calling repeatedly in order to harass
- Lying about your debt amount
- Contacting family, friends and your employer more than once
- Threatening to garnish your wages when it is not legally indicated
- Calling before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
These actions my creditors are illegal and they can be sued for violating your rights. The Law Offices of John Ribarich can help stop the harassment and assist in presenting a lawsuit against the company if it can be proven that they violated the law.
