Receiving collection calls at home can be annoying and distressing. Telephone calls from collection agencies made to your place of employment may not only be embarrassing, but could also have a negative impact on your job.
Where permitted by state law, Mark Silverthorn can provide you with practical non-legal advice about dealing with unwanted collection calls:
- By taking advantage of technology and different services available from your telephone company to avoid these calls
- By acting as your attorney-in-fact or your agent in connection with a particular debt.
Where Mark Silverthorn is providing practical non-legal advice to persons living outside New York state, no attorney-client relationship exists, no attorney-client privilege arises, but any information you provide will remain confidential in accordance with our Privacy policy.
If you are a resident of New York state Mark Silverthorn can help you stop unwanted collection calls:
- By utilizing provisions in the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to stop debt collectors contacting you by telephone
- By informing you how to frustrate a collector who gets you or a family member on the phone
- By making life unpleasant for a debt collector if the calls do not stop.
