Collection Calls

Abusive and harassing collection calls are illegal, and you may be entitled to compensation.

Stop Harassing Collection Calls

	Receive compensation! If you are a victim of abusive or harassing collection calls, you are entitled to $1,000 plus any damages you have suffered. You are also entitled to have your attorney's fees paid! We take all debt collection harassment calls on contingency - you pay nothing out of pocket.
	Stop the calls! We sue harassing and abusive debt collections. Once the lawsuit is filed and served, the collections calls usually stop.

	Threatening you with being arrested.
	Threatening you with a wage garnishment for an unpaid bill.
	Calling your job once you've told them not to call you there.
	Leaving abusive phone messages.
	Calling your family, friends or employers to collect the debt.
	Lying to you.

If you feel you have been treated improperly by a debt collector, call us today. No charge for the consultation, and no up-front out of pocket costs to you.

Protect yourself and protect your rights

If you are receiving harassing collection calls, protect yourself. Gather and write down as much information as you can, including:

	Date and time of call
	The name of the Collection Agent
	The name of the Collection Agency
	Why they say you owe the debt
	When they say the debt is from (some debts are too old to be collected - do not "reset the clock" on these old debts by paying the collector)
	The telephone number of the Collection Agency, and the extension of the Collection Agent
	Anything else the Collection Agent said
