Don’t let your creditors
falsely threaten you

As a means to collect, all too often, creditors use illegal and fraudulent tactics. Whether it is by threatening that they can send you to jail, pretending to work for the government or posing as a law firm, these are all illegal methods of pursuing payment. If you have received a false threat forcing immediate payment, do not pay them. You are protected against these tactics under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and we can help you.

t is considered fraudulent and illegal for creditors to do any of the following to you:

  • Threaten
  • Scold
  • Intimidate
  • Harass

On top of this, creditors cannot call you during odd hours or several times a day, they cannot make false representations about the debt, who they are or their intentions.
