What Can I Do If I’m Being Harassed By Resurgent Capital?

Debt collection harassment refers to any behavior that is abusive, oppressive, or harassing by a debt collector. If you’re being harassed by a debt collector such as Resurgent Capital Services, it's essential to know your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

This federal law outlines what debt collectors can and cannot do when attempting to collect a debt, including but not limited to the following:

• Using profane or abusive language
• Threatening violence or harm
• Communicating at inconvenient times or places
• Making repeated calls to annoy, abuse, or harass
• Providing false or misleading information
• Threatening arrest or imprisonment
• Threatening legal action that is not allowed or intended
• Using unfair or deceptive practices

If you believe Resurgent Capital Services has violated the FDCPA, it’s essential to document the harassment you’re experiencing, and consider sending them a cease-and-desist letter if necessary. If they continue to violate FDCPA laws, file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 

Remember that while debt collection agencies are subject to regulation, they may still use aggressive tactics in order to collect – if you need help managing your debts, contact a credit counselor or FDCPA attorney for guidance.
