Know Your Rights? We do ...

In 1977, Congress passed a law called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), designed to protect consumers from abusive collectors. Even if you owe a debt or a portion of a debt, that does not give anyone collecting a debt the right to say or do anything beyond what the law allows them to do when collecting a debt. When you've had enough - seek a specialist.  John Fugate is a specialist in Consumer and Commercial Law.  Let him put his expertise to work for you.
