Tax Problems | Fair Debt Collection | Larry Heinkel Tax Problem Solver

Have you been Harassed or Mistreated by a Debt Collector in the Past One or Two Years?

If so, you may have an action under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act.

The Act prohibits Debt Collectors from:

Not telling you during the first call, or in the first letter, that they are debt collectors attempting to collect a debt and that any information obtained will be used for that purpose

Refusing to identify themselves or their employer on the phone

Calling you constantly

Calling you between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Swearing at you or insulting you on the phone

Leaving you abusive phone messages or phone messages that refer to your debt

Calling, or threatening to call, your neighbors, friends, or employers and telling them about your debt

Calling you at work after you have told them not to call you at work

Threatening you with lawsuits, garnishment of wages, liens on property, or arrest for not paying a bill

If you have suffered from any of these abusive collection practices, you may be entitled to compensation.

Compensation

As a consumer, you are entitled to file a lawsuit against any debt collector who violates your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The Act allows a consumer to recover statutory damages of up to $1,000, actual damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. There is a similar provision under Florida law.
