What exactly does our service entail?

Legal Rights Advocates, Inc. aims to be a premier resource for the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) laid out by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well as debt collection harassment practices. The FDCPA is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to protect any debtor against deception, scams, and false statements or other abusive practices attempting to justify the collection of consumer debts.

This is also enforced by the Consumer Protection Division of the state’s Attorney General. However, the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division can’t do it all, especially when it comes to consumer fraud and abusive collectors. Sometimes, you need a third party’s legal assistance. We are proud of the settlements that have been awarded to our customers for unfair, deceptive, and abusive debt collection practices. If you have ever felt that debt collectors behaved inappropriately, you may have a case that we can help you with.

Do You Need to File a Complaint Against Debt Collection Agencies?

Debt collectors who behave deceptively and unfairly can make your life a nightmare. Owing money is already a burden, and they just make it more difficult. Debt collectors seemingly have no personal boundaries. They’ll spam your phone number with telephone calls and text messages, they’ll gather private contact information and personal information, and engage in other unfair practices and deceptive acts. These types of abusive debt collection practices are in violation of the FDCPA and can verge on consumer fraud.

The debt collector contact can become invasive and violate antitrust laws. Sometimes, debt collectors even involve your family members, acquiring their cell phone or telephone number, and bombarding them with phone calls. Whether it’s an attempt to collect on credit card debt, debt stemming from mortgages, or past-due health care fees, unfair debt collection practices by any debt collector aren’t acceptable. We can help you file a complaint against debt collection agencies in the face of attempts at the collection of such debt.

It’s important to understand what kind of debt collector you’re facing. Is the debt collector from the original creditor or has such debt been passed along to a third-party debt collector or another third-party creditor? Have you filed a complaint form against the creditor over ongoing further contact? Depending on the debt collector, this can impact the specific action you’ll need to take.

Debtors, Credit Reports, and Debt Collection Practices

Debt collectors can drastically impact your credit report. While this can sometimes be resolved through your credit union or financial institution, you’ll need the name of the creditor and additional information. You’ll then need to file a dispute letter, even if the principal purpose of the collection agency is to acquire an unpaid debt.

Some third-party creditors are involved in scam collection attempts that involve identity theft which is in violation of state law and federal law. If you suspect potential identity theft from a fraudulent debt collector or any other form of false advertising or false information, this will most likely involve a lawsuit that could result in potential jail time for the third and first-party debt collectors involved. If you’re the victim of identity theft, it’s important to contact legal counsel immediately.

Legal Action

If you would like to file a lawsuit against a debt collector for harassment we are happy to help you. Depending on the legal proceedings and the amount of money in question this could entail small claims court, criminal prosecution, or the involvement of the state Attorney General’s office. Depending on the default judgment of small claims court, the state court, or even a federal court in rare cases, your attorney fees may be paid for by the collector. It’s in the public interest to stop abusive collectors. Please feel free to contact us now at (855) 254-7841 to discuss your situation and options!

I called, and spoke with Adam. He got on my case in one day. Not only did he stop the harassing calls. I'm going to walk away with cash. I'm very satisfied.
I’m incredibly grateful for the help and support I received from Legal Rights Advocates Inc, and Adam throughout what was a long and stressful disability process. They were knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and always made me feel like my case mattered.

They took the time to explain the process, answered my questions, prepared me for my hearing, and made me feel much more confident going into it. Their experience and dedication truly made a difference.

After everything I went through, I’m so thankful to have had them, and Adam, who genuinely cared and fought for me. I would absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone going through the disability process. They were there when I needed them most, and I can’t thank them enough!

Thank you so much

Absolutely top tier phenomenal service from Mark. Transparent, intelligent, interesting to talk to, and took my issues seriously from the very first call. He got spam calls to stop basically immediately, then handled the rest thoroughly and professionally without me doing basically anything.

Definitely recommending this company and mark in the future to handle overbearing and toxic spam calls around debt.

This was the most convenient, and honest law firm that I've ever experienced in resolving my case. Adam made it so simple to trust in his professional ability to resolve my issues with my creditor. He lisen to my complaint and address it quickly with our affecting my credit. I never thought a legal matter could be resolved so quickly, it took a load off my mind, and I am so pleased! Thank you, Adam!!! 😊
Absolutely amazing! I came across these fine gentlemen and explain to them my situation with the financial ordeal I was facing. Immediately they got on the ball and needless to say, they got it done. I'm not going to get into my own personal details with it but the five stars should explain it all. These are one of the few lawyer's out there that are actually trustworthy. Not to mention they handled my case when I'm hundreds of miles away from their office. Almost forgot about that part. Thank you very much Mark & Scott! Keep up the good work!

Adam did a great job handling my case. Was able to get the loan dropped and now owe nothing. This company was very professional and did exactly what they said they would. Almost to good to be true!! Didn't actually believe it until I saw what they can do with my own 2 eyes. They really harrased me and kept calling over and over again. Stand up for your rights and let Adam handle your case!!!

Did show up on my credit report as 4 missed payments which I did not expect because the loan was completely dropped but I am more than happy to take the hit on my credit report.
The firm has been very supportive throughout the process. Adam Jeffery has communicated with me on a regular basis to keep me updated. It was a long time coming but everything turned out wonderful in the end. Thank you so much to legal rights advocates

Mark and Legal Rights Advocates were amazing! To begin with Mark returned my call from the website on a Sunday! In less than 2 weeks they had prepared a letter for the company on my behalf and in less than 6 weeks ALL my issues with the credit card company that was harassing me for the last year were solved! This included getting a financial bonus and making sure the credit bureaus correct my credit score! Mark was completely professional and had exceptional follow-up! VERY impressed! Thanks again!

I definitely recommend Legal Rights Advocates. I was being harassed by my credit card company they were calling a minimum of 10 times a day on the hour even ever half hour at times. Only after getting advice from Mark G on what to say to my creditors the calls stopped. Mark G is very helpful and friendly. I especially like how he follows up to make sure you aren’t having issues with your creditors.

Thank you Mark Gazda for your advice. You went above and beyond from what I initially expected, took the time to listen to my problem and also how to deal with the problem. He was very professional, communication is amazing, readily available. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone I care about!! He actually cares about his clients and You can tell it's genuine even the sincerity in his voice, he was comforting after being threatened by a collection agent. Thank you again for making my day better.

Gathering all information needed and keeping me posted on each step of the way made my experience exemplary.
I’m thankful I found my way to Legal Rights Advocates and will refer them to anybody needing their services.
Arelys was very kind and willing to work hard for me. I was able to get through to her with questions regarding my case. She later transferred to another department and Adam stepped in. He was very professional and always available anytime I had questions. He did a great job helping to bring my case to a positive closure. I am very thankful for this group of people who helped walk me through a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend their services and thank you so much Adam.

I needed assistance with qualifying for my Social Security disability benefits. I reached out to Legal Rights Advocates, and I am so glad I did. They were experts at navigating through the Social Security Disability maze! They provided the representation and guidance I needed. I was approved for my disability benefits! I could not have done it without the help of Legal Rights Advocates. I would highly recommend their services if you need help getting your disability benefits.

I was forced to pay something in full, with false threats of me going to court if it’s not paid that same day, being told I was accused of fraud, etc. I kept trying to call the accusing company after seeing a post of people getting scammed with false threats of court. I accidentally called Mark because of what Google showed me as I was searching for that company. He asked me about the company and were specific things happening to me, I said yes confusingly. He told me what the accusing company did was illegal. He took on my case, emailed me documents, and a little over a month he got my fees and everything else waived by winning the case because what happened to me was wrong. It also caused A LOT of hardship having to pay the accusing company $1300+ instantly out of pocket the day I got the threats. Mark has also got me $500 back on top of everything being waived. I’m impressed, I’m thankful, I didn’t have to come out of pocket for ANYTHING and let me add I’m not even in the same state as him. He was also very friendly, knowledgeable and checked in with me to keep me updated. I would recommend him to anyone who was in the same situation as I when it came to a loan company making threats if I didn’t pay in full that day. I do know if it ever happens again, who I can call 😃
