Collection Agencies: What Are Your Rights?
Are you in debt and being hounded by collection agencies? If you are in debt and have received at least one letter or telephone call from a collection agency or collection lawyer we might be able to recover money for you even if you have been late in paying your bill or have not paid your bill. Consumers have rights under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act which many collection agencies routinely violate. The Fair Debt Collection Act allows consumers whose rights have been violated to recover money damages, costs and attorney fees. All costs incurred and legal fees are paid by the collection agency or lawyer who violated the act. If you feel that your rights have been violated either save the letter or letters sent to you by the collection agency and/or make careful notes of the substance of any telephone conversation you have with a collection agency. Call Sanders, Sanders, Block, Woycik, Viener & Grossman, P.C. so that we can inform you of your rights.
