Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Fair Debt Collection Practices
I was contacted by a collection agency (LLC), who claimed to also be a law firm. I asked the representative for a bar number to reference and he claimed to not have access to it. The caller ID was blocked as well are these practices legal?
