As inflation continues to grow, almost 28 percent of the population has some form of debt currently in the collection. Third-party companies, such as Frost Arnett, are hired to contact consumers to collect the unpaid debt.
Unfortunately, many debt collectors use unscrupulous tactics to intimidate consumers. In 2018, the Federal Trade Commission permanently banned more than 30 companies for repeatedly violating consumer protection laws. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) enforces strict regulations and protects consumers from unlawful practices.
DoNotPay can not only show you how to protect your rights but can also teach you how to negotiate with debt collectors, such as Frost Arnett. We can send a dispute letter on your behalf and help you understand your state's statute of limitations on debt collection.
What Are The FDCPA Guidelines?
According to the FDCPA, there are strict regulations regarding consumer debt collection. Those attempting to collect a debt must:
- Provide a Debt Validation Letter in writing to the consumer within five days of the initial contact.
- Pause all communication until a debt is verified.
- Never call outside of regular business hours.
- Not directly contact an employer, friend, or family member of the debtor.
- Communicate with a debtor's attorney upon request.
Most importantly, if you request to stop calling, they must cease all collection calls immediately. Not doing so could be a violation of your consumer rights.
Do You Have to Answer Frost Arnett Debt Collector Phone Calls?
You do not have to answer telephone calls from a debt collector, but that doesn't mean they will stop trying to collect the debt. Many debt collectors will post derogatory information on your credit report without your knowledge, which could have a lasting negative effect on your finances. Others will attempt to take your stimulus check.
Blocking a phone number never works since the debt collector will just call back from another number. When an account is in default, it is best to deal with the original debtor to resolve the issue. When ERC debt collection begins, many debt collectors become relentless as the original debt is in the charge-off stage.
How to Get Frost Arnett Debt Collector to Stop Calling
If you are receiving continual calls from a Frost Arnett debt collector, the first thing to do is answer the phone. Ignoring the calls will only make things worse, leading to endless frustration. Find out what account they are calling about, and if the outstanding debt does not belong to you, let them know that you are not the responsible party.
| Inform the Debt Collector They Are No Longer Authorized to Call You | If the debt does belong to you, and you no longer want to receive telephone calls, inform Frost Arnett debt collector, that they do not have your permission to continue calling. Inform them to stop the persistent calls immediately or risk violating the consumer protection laws. They must then stop calling you at home or your place of business. |
| How to Talk to the Debt Collector | Always remain calm when dealing with a debt collector, and never lose your temper. Using inappropriate language will only make the caller more aggressive.
When talking to a debt collector, be sure to protect your identity. Never provide personal information and ask the caller to send verification of the debt in writing to the home mailing address they have on file. |
| Who to Contact For Assistance If the Calls Don't Stop | If you have informed a debt collector to stop calling and are still being harassed, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Contact them at (855) 411-2372 to start proceedings. |
What Happens When a Debt Collector Stops Calling?
Once you get the debt collector to stop calling you, that does not mean the debt goes away. You still need to take care of the money due to avoid further collection action.
