Post by Christopher Migliaccio Leave a Comment

Know Your Rights When Dealing with Debt Collectors in Richardson, Texas

Some debt collectors will use intimidation practices, like harassment and fraud, in order to receive payments from you. Texas law provides protection to individuals who have been a victim of harassment, as well as criminally and civilly penalizes organizations that employ these methods. See a Richardson, Texas bankruptcy attorney to assess your debt repayment options.

The Texas Debt Collection Act prohibits creditors from abusive practices when they attempt to obtain payments from a debtor.
