Debt Collection Lawyer in Florida

Dealing With Debt Collection

Debt collection involves a creditor attempting to collect a debt you owe either directly through the company you owe money to, or by transferring the debt to an outside agency or department to handle.  Whether the firm is collecting directly or through the use of a collection agency, there are laws that govern how they may handle the debt collection, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  The state of Florida is very consumer friendly when it comes to any violations of these regulations and takes any reports of abuses seriously.  Agencies violating these laws can be subject to fines and even be sued if they have egregiously violated these laws.  When facing debt collection practices you feel are unethical or abusive, contact a debt settlement attorney from the Carman Law Firm in Florida for professional legal advice on the best way to handle your situation.

Fighting For Your Rights Against Abusive Debt Collection Practices

Some of the abusive debt collection practices that creditors and collection agencies can get in trouble for include:

• Repeated calls to people you know trying to get information on you
• Using abusive or foul language
• Constant phone harassment
• Lying about the amount you owe, where they are calling from, or anything else that violates law
• Telling your employer they are trying to collect money from you
• Threatening you with physical harm
• Threaten to have you arrested

The above collection practices are illegal and can result in the company being sued.  You are entitled to be treated with respect, even if you do owe a bill.  Attorney Deborah Carman will pursue full compensation on your behalf if it can be proven that the collection agency was violating the law in some manner.  At the very least, when you retain my services, we will ensure you receive no more harassing calls and that all communications are directed to us to handle.
