: Alabama Consumer BlogNew Article On Debt Collector Voicemails And Offer Of Free Report
By M. Stan Herring
We are filing more and more lawsuits against collection agencies, debt collectors, and debt buyers for leaving illegal messages on our clients' answering machines and voicemail systems. There is a great need for more information as so many Alabama consumers are having to deal with these illegal voicemails so we wrote a short article for you which we hope will be helpful.
This article discusses the three types of common illegal voicemails - threats/lies; third party disclosures; and failure to leave the mini-miranda.
We also have prepared a free report on this subject which covers it in more detail. The report is entitled "How To Make Debt Collectors Pay For Leaving Illegal Voicemails" and is being made available for Alabama consumers who are not connected with or employed by any type of debt collection company. Simply fill out the form below to learn more about this growing problem and how the law, particularly the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, makes it possible for you to fight back against the debt collectors who so routinely break the law.
