Collection Agency Complaints Hotline
Just because you are late paying your bills, does not mean collection agencies can harass you or treat you unprofessionally. If your rights have been violated, you don’t have to tolerate it. With one call, consumers are filing debt collection complaints, and making them stop. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act clearly defines unacceptable behavior, so if you’ve heard from bad collectors, such as Portfolio Recovery 630-256-8591, you can report them right here.
Don’t put up with it.
Here are the most common collection complaints. If a collector has behaved like this, you could be owed up to $1000.
