Harassed by Creditors? Sue Them!
Creditor harassment happens all the time, even though it is against the law. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) makes it clear that debt collectors are not allowed to:
- Make threats
- Make untrue statements
- Discuss your debts with third parties, such as family members, neighbors or employers
If you have been the victim of such tactics, you can take action. At Burns & Wincek, we can help you stop creditor harassment. Perhaps more importantly, we may be able to get you compensation. The law says that victims are entitled to $1,000 for each instance of harassment. In some circumstances, more compensation may be available.
