First off, how can you pay off your debts if they are phoning and annoying you or your employer. Eventually you will be fired, so how does the lawyer expect you to pay anything? The next time the attorney calls you, tell them just what I said (in your own words) and see what happens. Tell him/her that your employer is getting annoyed and if you get fired from your job you won't bother going back to work, because the same scenerio will start all over again. I think this attorney will leave you be for a bit. However, if you are not responsible in paying your bill(s) then I suggest you make a better effort. This collection attorney can guarantee your wages whether you like it or not and, in some cases you can do jail time.
In order to stop a collection lawyer from calling you it is possible to ask a consumer protection attorney for help or pay the debt. Also, make sure the collection lawyer actually calls for a company you own money to.
Are you talking about a collection agency? You need to consult an attorney on this, as statutes of limitations vary by state.
No. Once the party involved has informed the collector that they do not want them calling their place of employment the calls must end. Some collectors however simply will not listen and continue to break FDCPA laws. If this is the case the collection agency should be reported to the office of the state's Attorney General. This can be done by phone, but it is best to follow up in a letter. Keep a log of any calls received after the request has been made.
Employers typically verify employment history by contacting previous employers directly to confirm dates of employment, job titles, and job responsibilities. Some employers may also request W-2 forms or pay stubs as additional proof of employment. Verification processes may vary depending on the company's policies and procedures.
by calling on his/her phone.
There is no law that states that a collection agency can not call your place of employment. BUT, once you have informed the collection agency, verbally, to stop calling their place of employment, the MUST stop. I would suggest that you send a "cerified" letter to the agency with your request. If they continue to do so, this is considered harrassment. To verify this answer, please check out the FDCPA "Fair Debt Collection Practices Act" You can find it on line at:Just copy and paste the below link. http://www.ftc.gov/OS/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm
The best way to properly greet a district attorney is by calling them Sir or Madame. It is best to keep it formal when talking to them.
Estate taxes are usually done with a tax attorney. So, yes, estate taxes can be overseen by an attorney who deals with taxes. Calling a tax attorney will better give you an understanding of how the process works.
Have you tried mentioning calling your attorney next time they call? that usually stops them.
No. They should stop calling.
Report them to the police ! That's harassment at the very least - and they can be prosecuted for it.
Yes, under the FDCPA if the debtor sends a 'cease and desist' letter to the collector, they must stop calling. Many collection agencies get around this, by passing the account on to a affiliate. When sending a C&D letter it is best to send it by certified mail and request a receipt of delivery. Requesting them by phone not to call is not sufficient except when requesting they not call a place of employment (and that doesn't always work either).
