Basic and most important requirement for a commercial debt collector is that he must have to be intelligent. In other things he should be a good diplomat, investigator, and physical toughness is additional attribute. A commercial debt collector uses these different abilities according to circumstances. That mainly depends on the debtor’s business and its collection process. On corporate side a debtor is having millions of dollars on stake while for small business owners it may be few thousand dollars.

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:

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.

“Many other websites claim to offer “free credit reports,” “free credit scores,” or “free credit monitoring.” But, be careful. These sites are not part of the official annual free credit report program. And in some cases, the “free” product comes with strings attached. For example, some sites sign you up for a supposedly “free” service that converts to one you have to pay for after a trial period ends. If you don’t cancel during the trial period, you may be agreeing to let the company start charging fees to your credit card.

The worst thing which you will face is the continuous calls from the creditors demanding for their money. Usually collectors make calls 8 to 10 times a day, on your cell phone, home and also at work. This is about the collectors who follow the rules. The creditors will speak to your boss, neighbors and family members though it’s illegal. And if they get you on phone then they will exert a psychological pressure on you to pay back their money. In simple words, they will do everything to make you pay them their money.

The best way to avoid debt collectors is to avoid getting into debt in the first place. But unfortunately, the prevailing economic condition has effected everyone badly, and in the current situation, it is hardly an option for many people to avoid debt. More and more people are finding themselves further in debt than ever.

The worse part is that when debt collectors harass people who are stuck in debt, they tend to make their conditions worse by falling into their traps and agreeing to their terms. Of course, it can be scary to be in debt, but if you know what to do when the collectors begin to call, you can minimize the damage that they do, both to your credit score and to your mental health.

There are three main credit reporting companies operating in the United States. The law requires these three to provide one free credit report (each) to anyone who requests them within any given year. The three large credit reporting companies are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and they are strictly monitored by Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to provide correct and true information.

Who Can Access Your Credit Report?

Companies, such as credit card companies, mortgage loaners, insurance companies, and potential employers can gain access to your credit report and gain an insight into information regarding where a person currently lives, where a person has lived in the past several years, the person’s financial history – including any bankruptcies – and whether or not a person has been involved in any legal proceedings in the past.
