Debt Collectors facing scrutiny
If you have ever been behind on your payments, you know that feeling. You dread to pick up the phone for fear what the debt collector on the other end of the line will say to you. An increasing number of Americans are falling behind on their payments and the tactics being used by some unscrupulous debt collectors are not just mean but in many cases illegal.
Debt defaults are the highest rates they have been in 18 years. That means that debt collection efforts are on the rise and in many ways they are competing with each other. If you are late of say 4 cards and you maybe have enough money to only pay one of them, those debt collectors are going to get pretty aggressive in their efforts.
But what happens when the cross the line? Harassment and intimidation are not uncommon. The FTC reports that it receives more complaints about debt collectors than it does any other specific industry. Now they are investigating what type of changes need to be made. Hopefully those changes can be implemented soon to protect consumers rights.
In the meantime, if you are in debt, falling behind on debt, or being harrassed, you need someone on your side. At First Rate Debt Solutions, our business is dealing with creditors and protecting the clients from unscrupulous and illegal behavior. Put our expertise to work for you.
