Have You Been Contacted By A Debt Collector?
If so, you may have the right to recover money from collection agencies or lawyers who have contacted you concerning your debts
Many debt collectors routinely violate the provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This is a Federal Law which gives you certain rights and prohibits certain methods of attempting to collect debts.
If the Act has been violated, you may have the right to recover money damages.
