Creditor Protection and Consumer Rights in Florida

The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA) and Telephone Consumer Protection Act offer consumers protection against creditor harassment. Unfortunately, some creditors still utilize a number of unlawful practices in their attempt to collect the money they are owed. Debt collectors know that a person in debt is likely to be embarrassed by the situation or may feel overwhelmed. They prey on these emotions and may use threats to try to coerce a debtor into paying. They may demand money that the debtor does not actually owe. They may contact friends and family members or pretend to be someone else in an attempt to pressure a debtor.

Free Creditor Harassment Representation

At Leavengood & Nash, we provide an invaluable service to our clients – at no additional cost. From the moment that you retain our lawyers for your bankruptcy case, we will also provide our creditor harassment protection. You owe us nothing for our creditor harassment representation unless we are able to recover compensation for you as a result of the creditor’s or debt collector’s unlawful practices. If you have been the victim of unlawful debt collection we may be able to recover up to $1,000 under the FDCPA and $1,000 under the FCCPA. In the event that we prove creditor harassment or abuse and recover on your behalf, the offending creditor will be held responsible to pay for all attorneys’ fees and costs for filing, prosecuting and settling the case.
