Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

Re: Collection Agency Harrassment

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act governs the conduct of debt collecters. Generally, the activities you describe are not allowed. If you notify the collection agency in writing that you do not want to be contacted, it must cease to contact you about your debt. You should send notice by certified mail and keep a copy of your records. If a collection agency trys to contact you after this notice, you may have a claim for damages.

If you would like to pursue this further, you may set up an appointment to meet with one of our attorneys. The first visit is completely free of charge and may be scheduled by phone at:
