Debt Collection Harassment by LVNV
New York Debt Collections Harassment Attorney
Do you believe that a collection agent at LVNV violated your rights?
Federal laws protect consumers such as yourself from abusive debt collection agencies.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) delineates the rules debt collectors must follow when attempting to collect debts, and violations against these rules can leave agencies open to legal action.
Your Rights as a Consumer
Knowledge of your rights is important because it may save you from falling prey to unlawful collection attempts.
By law, debt collectors may not:
- use abusive or profane language;
- continue to contact you once you have made it known that you have legal representation;
- falsely threaten you;
- continually call in order to annoy or harass;
- contact neighbors, employers, or family about details of your debt;
- call between the hours of 9:00pm and 8:00am.
The actions listed above are not a complete account of unlawful collection techniques. All forms of harassment and deception are proscribed by federal law.
