Debt collection agencies and bill collectors will do almost anything in order to collect their money. Collectors will make threats and lie to you on the phone in order to get you to make payments. They will threaten to start garnishing your wages or bank accounts, even if they are not legally able to do so. They may even claim that they will send the sheriff to your house or overstate the amount of the debt you owe.
Debt collectors will lie to you if they think it can help them collect payments. In some cases, they will pretend to be lawyers and indicate that they are ready to file a lawsuit against you. Of course, it is almost impossible to know the difference, and many people do not realize that they are the victims of debt collector abuse or harassment. If you have any suspicions or concerns, it is time to talk to an experienced consumer attorney who can help explain your legal rights.
Stop Creditor Harassment
There are a number of things you can do to stop creditor harassment. If aggressive debt collectors have violated either Florida or Federal law, you may be entitled to damages with no attorney fees or costs to you unless you recover. There are laws that regulate the activities of creditors and debt collectors, and afford you a number of consumer rights and protections. If a debt collector or creditor has made false or deceptive statements to you, humiliated you, communicated with friends and family members about your debt, harassed you with multiple telephone calls per day, or abused you with offensive or rude language, you may have a claim.
For some people, bankruptcy is a better option for stopping creditor or debt collector harassment. As soon as you file for consumer bankruptcy, the automatic stay in most cases puts an immediate stop to all creditor harassment and collection efforts. Alternatively, we may be able to help you negiotiate a settlement of your debt with the collector. At Alan C. Ewbank, P.A., we will help you understand your rights as a consumer and, if necessary, take legal action to enfore those rights and stop creditor harassment.
