Pennsylvania Residents Stopping Debt Collectors From Contacting A Third Party

Are you a Pennsylvania resident and someone else is getting calls for you from a debt collector regarding your debt? Has a collection agency reached out to family or friends and disclosed information regarding your debt? If that is the situation, that is a violation of your rights under the Pennsylvania Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Legal Rights Advocates (LRA) can help put a stop to that Harassment from collection agencies such as Asset Recovery Associates.

The Pennsylvania Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) is a law set up to protect the consumer from debt collection harassment. There have been instances in which agents from Asset Recovery Associates have violated consumers rights under the Pennsylvania Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) by contacting a third party disclosing information about a consumer’s debt.
