NES Collection Harassment

New York Debt Collection Harassment Attorney

Do you believe that you have been harassed by a debt collector from NES?

You have legal rights as a consumer that proscribe certain debt collection techniques.

Debt collection agencies are prohibited from employing harassing or abusive tactics by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which is a federally-mandated set of rules that was put into place in 1978.

Debt Collection Abuse

Knowing your rights is important so that you do not allow your rights to be violated. 

Under the FDCPA, debt collectors may not:

• use deception in order to collect;
• make threats concerning arrests or lawsuits if the company is not prepared to take these actions;
• use profane language;
• call you, your home, or your workplace repeatedly in order to harass;
•  publish your name on a debtors list;
•  call before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.

As this is not a complete list of prohibited actions, you should be aware that any actions that constitute harassment or deception are illegal.

If you have been harassed by a debt collector and are in need of legal assistance in order to get them to stop, then contact a New York debt collections abuse attorney right away.  Our firm offers complimentary preliminary consultations so that there is no risk for you to call! If you have a viable case, we may be able to  represent you in your case, and you may be able to obtain compensation for your ordeal.
