Stopping A Debt Collector From Harassment
It is a common scenario that people think that debt collection services agencies are threatening them while they collect the money owed. Though there are agencies which actually do that, there are more which would rather use legal and unthreatening methods to collect the accounts owed to their clients. Do you think that the debt collection services agency is threatening? Then you must contact the authorities as soon as you can.
Remember that threats and harassments are highly illegal, so you may report it as soon as you feel threatened or harassed. Normal threats left by debt collection services are that they would repossess valuable properties, or that they will file legal cases against you or your company. If ever they do anything like this, then document everything before contacting the authorities. Seek, then, for an attorney’s advice, and show them the documents supporting your claims. It is only when you are able to provide evidences will you be able to demand for a case, and to try to win it.
It is reasonable for you to ask the debt collection services agency to stop from contacting you by sending a letter demanding for them to stop contacting you. After sending them the letter, they are allowed to send you another letter with instructions on how the debt should be settled. As long as your debt remains unsettled, someone will contact you about it; it’s just that the client of the agency who harassed or threatened you has changed agencies. After all, the filed case is against the debt collection services agency, not the debt itself. If you want for the company you are indebted to, to stop asking for payment, then you will need to settle it as soon as possible. You may also talk to the company or the person itself to
change the collection agency because you are uncomfortable with the way they are handling the case. Simply provide proofs of their actions, and your request might be approved.
