Alert Details
This business has 1 alert.
Alert
Collection agencies are required to obtain licensing in the areas in
which they are contacting consumers about a debt. BBB has requested this
company provide proof they have the necessary licenses to operate where they
are collecting debt. This collection agency has not responded to our
requests.
BBB advises
consumers to be aware of their legal rights when contacted by a collection
agency. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces The Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act which prohibits abusive and harassing behavior
by any debt or collection agency. The act states specific practices and
rules under which debt collectors must abide by. There are penalties for
agencies found breaking these laws. Collection agencies must not use
crude or offensive language or identify themselves as anyone other than by
their business name. If a consumer believes a debt or collection agency
has violated any of the FDCPA laws the BBB encourages them to file complaints
with the BBB at bbb.org and Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov.
