Forms Of Harassment
Harassment can take many forms. Even though it is prohibited to use abusive and harassing tactics against the consumer, it seems like that debt collection companies cannot think of a better way sometimes.
Take a look at these scenarios. If you have experienced any one of them, then your rights under the fair debt collections act have been violated.
Even after hiring an attorney and telling the Debt collection agency that you are being represented by an attorney, the company has still contacted you. If this is the case, then you are harassed as per the fair debt collection act.
That’s because the act prohibits any debt collection company from contacting the customer after knowing that the customer is being represented by an attorney. The contact can only be established if and only if the attorney has become unresponsive or the attorney itself directs the debt collection company to contact the consumer.
Then, the collection companies choose to call the relatives and neighbors of the consumer. This is absolute abuse even if the consumer does owe the debt. Not a single relative or a friend of the consumer is supposed to know about the debt that he or she owes.
Debt collection companies also choose to use obscene language during the contact. They think that this technique is somewhat useful and somehow gives them the upper hand. Regardless of the fact that it may or may not be true, the bottom line is that the US law prohibits the use of such techniques during contact with the consumer.
Then comes threats. Just like the use of obscene language, debt collection companies think that threatening is a good tactic to make people acknowledge the falsely accused debts.
You may be accused of wage garnishment. It’s a legal process that is used to accommodate the debt that is owed by the consumer. In this process, the court of relevant jurisdiction authorizes the employer to use the employee’s salary for the payment of debts.
Now whether you were harassed, abused, or threatened, you don’t need to worry about anything. Haseeb Legal LLC can help you sue the company and press your claims.
