Why Would You Be Contacted by Debt Collectors?
Debt collection agencies are often hired by banks, medical practices, and other businesses when they want to collect an unresolved debt from a consumer, patient, or customer. There are many reasons why a company might turn to a debt collection agency, but in many cases, payments are simply late.
Other reasons why they are reaching out to you may include:
- To validate a debt
- To confirm the identity of another debtor who may be related to you
- To work out a payment plan if you have an existing debt
It's also very possible that the company is reaching out to you in error. Mistakes are made every day by businesses and if this happens, you shouldn't have to bear the brunt of their accounting error.
DoNotPay can help you determine if the calls are accurate, and help you understand if your consumer rights are being violated. It's not always easy to know when you are being scammed, so it's important to have the right resources on your side if you are contacted by an unscrupulous agency.
Are Your Rights Being Violated?
If you suspect that your consumer rights are being violated, you could have a case for being harassed by debt collectors. Debt collection agencies are prohibited from:
- Making repeated calls throughout the day
- Calling you outside of the permitted window which is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Threatening to take legal action or using threats in general
- Contacting debtors through social media
- Showing up at your home or place of business without permission
- Using confusing terminologies to deceive you
In most cases, non-payment of a debt is not a criminal offense, so any call that mentions legal action should be immediately regarded as suspicious.
DoNotPay understands how difficult any financial crisis can be and we have seen how much debtors can suffer under the pressure of collectors. Unfortunately, collecting on debts is how collection agencies make money but any form of harassment is just not acceptable.
