Consumer Attorney Craig Thor Kimmel Discusses How Consumers Can Battle Harassing Collection Calls
Consumer Attorney Craig Thor Kimmel, Founding Partner of CreditLaw.com, visited Good Day Philadelphia to discuss how consumers can battle harassing collection calls. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, consumers can get the collection calls to stop and possibly receive damages of up to $1,000.
I have received over 6 phone calls from a debt collector looking for
my sister whom they tell me has a delinquent acct with them. Each
time they call and leave a message I
Advise them to take the matter up with her. She and her husband have a phone
Number listed in the phone book and its not like their hard to find. They are
Both school teachers and make a great income as well. My sister said they have the
Wrong people and is highly embarrassed they are calling her relatives
Is there anything she can do to make them stop? She is considering hiring an attorney as they
Continue to call me, whom they say she left as a reference and
Contact person. I have all the voice messages still on my phone
With the last one occurring about 30 minutes ago.
The debt ector is called Springleaf Financial .
Please Advise
