How to Make Collection Calls Stop!

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


It is a common saying that ‘rules are meant to be broken’. Similarly, debt collectors have some pre defined rules which they normally don’t follow. Here are some laws, which can help you stop the  ever annoying collector calls.

Third-party Collectors: The Meanest Ones:

How-to-Stop-Collection-Calls

If you and lender are the first and second party, then the debt collectors are the third party whose core aim is to collect the money, by hook or by crook. It’s useless to explain things to them or to talk to them nicely since they are just a business to you.  FDCPA (Fair Debt collection Practices Act) is a central law which says that if you tell the collectors to quit calling, they should do it.

Sample Letter:

Sample letters are the letters which the debt collector sends within five days after you provide them with your address. Once they call again, you can simply ask for their address and ask them not to call anymore instead you will be in contact with them via mails or letters.

Receiving letters is far more comfortable for you since it can help you think about the ways you can pay the debt rather than just answering to the infinite annoying calls. There are some cases when the collectors don’t stop calling. Well, there is one easy solution to it, Sue them. Suing them or complaining against them to the FTC can be really helpful. State attorney General can also be contacted if none of the previous mentioned results work.

There are some debt collectors who purchase debt absolutely for a few cents on the dollar keeping in mind that they will get a nice amount of profit if they get successful in collecting debts. There are types of debt collectors, non professional and hired ones. If the hired collector keeps calling and annoying you asking for the money then you can directly contact the company you took the loan from, telling that your employee is violating the FDCPA terms.
