Creditor Harassment Lawyers Serving Scranton
One of the most exhausting consequences of debt is the relentless contact from creditors and debt collectors. In a perfect world, these entities would respect your space, communicate honestly and openly, and treat you with the dignity you deserve.
Unfortunately, this is not what every debtor experiences. Some creditors and debt collectors:
- Call at inappropriate hours
- Message debtors repeatedly
- And even use profane language
Fortunately, various state and federal laws protect consumers from creditor harassment, which refers to a set of unacceptable practices that some collectors use to coerce debtors into sending payments.
At Sabatini Law Firm, LLC, our job is to identify whether you have experienced creditor harassment and, if so, hold the responsible party accountable in court. Many law firms hesitate to take creditors or debt collectors to court because of the complexities and level of work involved, but we have had immeasurable success with creditor harassment lawsuits.
We work tirelessly to defend our clients’ rights and obtain substantial compensation on their behalf.
Ready to learn more about how we can defend your rights? Give our office a call at (570) 458-2008 or contact us online. We can answer all your questions during a free consultation.
What Is Considered Creditor Harassment?
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that prevents debt collectors from abusing consumers.
Per the FDCPA, debt collectors may not:
- Threaten you with violence
- Lie about what you owe, who they are, or what might happen if you don’t pay them
- Report inaccurate information about you to a credit bureau
- Use any other deceitful, abusive, or harassing tactic
- Call too early or late (before 8am or after 9pm)
- Call other people about your debt (except to get your contact information)
- Treat you disrespectfully (e.g. using profane or obscene language)
What Damages Are Available for Creditor Harassment?
A debt collector who violates this law may be compelled to pay you:
- A penalty for breaking the law
- Compensation for any loss or injury you sustained
- And attorney fees
At Sabatini Law Firm, LLC, we only accept collection harassment cases on a contingency basis, which means we would be paid only out of any amount we recover for you from the defendant. If we do not recover, there will be no fee.
