New York Debt Collections Abuse Lawyer
Do you feel that you are being harassed by Allied Interstate?
You should be aware that there are laws to protect you.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects consumers from harassing and deceptive debt collection.
Protecting Your Rights
You should be aware of your rights under the FDCPA so that you don't fall prey to unscrupulous debt collection harassment.
Debt collectors may not:
- use abusive or foul language;
- falsely threaten you with a lawsuit;
- falsely threaten to garnish your pay;
- repeatedly call in order to harass;
- discuss your debt with neighbors, family or your employer
- threaten to send you to jail; or
- call before 8:00am or after 9:00pm
While the above list includes some of the more common violations, consumers should be aware that debt collectors
may not do anything that is harassing or deceptive.
If you have suffered due to harassing, threatening or repeated debt collection phone calls contact our office immediately. We can provide you with a free initial evaluation to determine if we can help you by filing a lawsuit on your behalf for the violation of your rights. You may be entitled to compensation.
Generally, the consumer is not asked to pay any upfront fees or costs. If the Law Office of Joseph Mauro agrees to bring a case on your behalf the representation is generally handled on a contingency basis. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes a provision that allows a successful consumer to have the debt collector pay the consumer's attorney fees and costs.
