How to Protect Yourself from Unfair Pinnacle Debt Collectors Practices with DoNotPay

Debt collector harassment is stressful and all-around nasty. Why? Because Pinnacle debt collectors, like many other major collection agencies, will often use unethical practices to get you to pay the money you purportedly owe.

A debt in collections affects around one out of four Americans. Unwanted phone calls payment demands are associated with an overdue credit card account, a defaulted student loan, or an unmet medical obligation. Unfortunately, not all third-party debt collectors are reliable and follow the law while collecting debts.

DoNotPay will assist you in determining if your debt collector complies with the FDCPA, whether you were just contacted or have been hounded for months. We'll help you decide what course of action to pursue after walking you through a series of questions, and we'll contact the debt collectors on your behalf with a demand letter.

We'll file the complaint on your behalf if you want to report the collection agency to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

What Is the FDCPA?

It is a law that protects customers from unethical debt collection operations. Since 1978, this law has established the standards and regulations that all debt collection agencies must adhere to. These laws limit when and how people can be contacted by collecting agencies and outlaw illegal and abusive tactics.

How to Deal With Pinnacle Debt Collectors by Yourself

Here are the tips you should consider when dealing with a debt collector on your own;

1. Examine the debt validation letter to confirm the amount owing, the original creditor, the nature of the debt, and the collector's identification.
2. If you have doubts or believe the debt is not yours, submit a debt verification request. If the debt's statute of limitations is approaching its end, it may be preferable to ignore the collection and wait it out.
3. You have a few alternatives after you've validated the debt. You can.

• Repay your debts.
• Request that the debt collector refrains from contacting you.
• Debt collectors are legally compelled to stop contacting you once you make this request, but they may choose to escalate the issue by filing a lawsuit.
• Please specify how you want them to contact you, whether through your lawyer or requesting that they don't phone you at work.
• If you suspect they've broken the FDCPA, contact the FTC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
