STOP HARASSMENT FROM FIFTH THIRD BANK
Is the Fifth Third Bank continuing to call you and seek your attention despite instructions from you not to? If they are, it is illegal on their part to do so. This behavior constitutes harassment and you are well within your rights to stop it.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) prohibits calling consumers without their express consent. This includes all communication over the phone, telemarketing calls, calls that are prerecorded or made using autodialing equipment, etc. If a consumer is persistently facing calls despite instructions to not make contact, the company making the calls can be taken to court for illegal harassing behavior.
How to identify harassment from the Fifth Third Bank?
Some types of behaviors are considered illegal and these can attract legal attention. Here is a quick checklist to help determine what is considered harassment from the Fifth Third Bank:
- Getting calls from debt collectors from automated equipment
- Receiving calls despite you instructing them not to call you
- Receiving calls several times a week
- Receiving calls before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.
- Receiving calls at your workplace
- Using abusive language; threatening to harm you or sue you and telling you that you have committed a crime
- Someone from the Fifth Third informing others/talking to others about your debt, for example someone at your workplace
- Not being informed of your right to dispute the debt
- Not getting a letter within five days of the first collection phone call
Victims of these practices can bring a suit in the local state court, including small claims court, specifically against the person making the phone calls found to be violating the TCPA guidelines.
