Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law that regulates the conduct of debt collectors. It prohibits debt collectors from engaging in abusive, deceptive and unfair practices. We sue debt collectors and/or debt collection agencies when they break the law and obtain monetary awards for our clients. We do not charge any upfront fees for these services. There are many other debt collection practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Many debt collectors do not comply with the strict laws that govern the way they conduct collection activities. We sue debt collectors that engage in harassing, threatening or abusive behavior. We would be glad to discuss your situation and review any collection letters you may have received.
Have you been harassed by a debt collector? Have you received multiple calls from the same debt collector in the one day or during the course of a couple days? Have you received a call from a debt collector before 8:00am in the morning or after 9:00pm at night? Has a debt collector cursed or yelled at you? Have you asked a debt collector to stop contacting you, but they still keep calling? These collectors are violating the law!

DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES

Are you being sued by a credit card company or debt collector? Are you being sued for a debt you can’t afford to pay or simply don’t owe? If so, an attorney at The Law Offices of Michael Lupolover, P.C. can help. Our firm represents consumers just like you. In situations such as this, it is important to remember that you have options! You do not have to resign yourself to the fact that you will lose your lawsuit. You can work with an experienced debt collection defense attorney and challenge the suit.

Sometimes “debt buyers” file lawsuits against a consumer. These are companies who claim to have purchased a debt from the original creditor or even from other debt buyers. The entity that files the lawsuit against you must comply with strict rules and procedures in court in proving that you actually owe the debt, to them. They must prove their case by a preponderance (majority) of evidence and comply with rules regarding civil procedure and evidence. It is not enough to simply claim that you owe a debt. The debt collector, original creditor or debt buyer must actually prove this, based upon the strict standards imposed in civil court.
