United Recovery Systems Debt Collection Harassment

New York Debt Collection Abuse Attorney

Do you believe that a United Recovery Systems debt collector used intimidation or harassment against you?

Federal legislation was put into place to protect you from abusive and deceptive tactics from debt collectors.  

Your consumer rights are detailed in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

Protecting Your Rights

Debt collectors must adhere to strict rules regarding their conduct in attempting to collect debts, and if their behavior has violated these rules, then you may have a lawsuit against them for their actions.

While there are many abusive and deceptive tactics used by debt collectors, some of the more commons examples include the following:

• calling after 9:00pm or before 8:00am;
• using expletives and other offensive language;
• threatening to sue you when they do not intend to do so;
• threatening to garnish your pay when they do not intend to do so;
• threatening to arrest you
• calling repeatedly in order to harass you;
• disclosing your debts to others

The above list contains just a few examples of prohibited conduct. You should realize that any action that constitutes harassment or deception is prohibited.
