CNN: Paraplegic Handicap Parking Taken from Paralyzed Hollywood Female Actor

Imagine you're PARAPLEGIC, this space is made for your ride. Do you see these spaces that were made for "disabled persons" now unmarked? Your custom automobile made to give your freedom. Retrofitted with the automatic ramp that safely supports you, you in your electric wheelchair, smiling, you glide up to your only source of freedom: The Vehicle made for you. The electric wheelchair made for YOUR hand, your delicate fingers that cannot lift big things, can guide the power of a 300 lb wheelchair, rolling you up to the inside of your own motor vehicle, where freedom lives... so you get to to drive like everybody else. And you go... trips to the store, to work, to the beach, the motor vehicle that gives keys to the music of living, of going, the sensation of motion... which frees you from a confined life. Then one day the Universal Symbol for Disabled Persons disappears fresh paint covers the once shining symbol of freedom meant for you in this case, it has become painted bright white, leaving only the blue side stripes, which were put there in the first place as a condition of getting approval to build the building. Shall the building be condemned since it is in breech of code? You were yelled at, and told to park where there is no additional side space for your electric ramp, no space for the van, no place for you! Just this year, that's $20000 spent on a little one bedroom apartment, an agreement made on the condition that the space would be years for the entire time you ...

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Stops Creditor Harassment

In my Charleston, South Carolina bankruptcy practice, I deal with folks who are overwhelmed with debt. If you're in that situation, it's important to know your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"). Generally, while a creditor may call a debtor at work regarding a debt, a third-party debt collector is prohibited from doing so by the Act without explicit permission from that debtor.

Many debtors know the feeling of dread whenever their phone rings. They know there's a good chance that on the other end of the line is another resounding reminder that bills that haven't been paid, debts are still owed, and consequences could follow if that goes unchanged. And the only thing worse is the knowledge that they just don't have the means of paying what they owe right away.

Try to imagine if those debt collectors could call you wherever and whenever they wanted. What would stop them from sending out flyers to all your neighbors and coworkers telling them you can't pay your VISA bill? Or calling you at 1 o'clock every morning with friendly reminders that Sears is still waiting on their money? What if JC Penney's debt collectors could threaten to beat you up if you didn't start paying what you owed?

Congress aw saw plenty of potential for abuse in debt collection and included protective guidelines to preserve the safety, sanity, and basic dignity of debtors. The inability to call people at work is one of them. Section 805(3) of the Act prohibits a third party debt collector from communicating with consumers regarding their debts at the consumer's place of employment if they know or have reason to know that the consumer's employer wouldn't allow it. If they do call, they become liable for actual damages, up to $1000 in punitive damages, and attorneys' fees. That means if you were to lose your job or a bonus because of constant debt collection calls, the collector better start worrying.

Of course, there are a couple exceptions to these rules. First, a creditor can call you directly without employing a third party because they aren't considered "debt collectors" within the meaning of the Act. This includes debt collection companies related by common ownership or corporate control with the creditor company.

Additionally, if you work at a place where such a call would be generally acceptable, the debt collectors may not be liable. For example, if you are self-employed or work from home, there would be no violation of the Act.

Finally, if you give express permission to the debt collector to call you at work, you can reasonably expect those calls to keep on coming. This in mind: it's probably a good idea to choose your words to debt collectors carefully if you ever find yourself in the unenviable position of talking to one.

And if you find yourself getting these calls, that's a sure sign you have financial problems. Get help from an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. He'll go over all your options. Stopping the calls is good, but dealing with the underlying problem is far better.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act - Use This Potent Law to Put Debt Collectors in Their Place!

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law is so potent; debt collectors cross their fingers and hope and pray that you never find out about it. Why? There are three crucial reasons:

1). It sets the parameters and boundaries on the information debt collectors can gather on you.

2). It contains specific rules on how debt collectors can communicate with you whether at home or at work.

3). It sets rules in place that literally prohibit debt collection companies from contacting

Before you do anything, you need to read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in its entirety. DO NOT proceed any further until you do so. It's a short read so you should be able to complete it one sitting.

Why read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act? - First, to get your sanity back! Debt collectors will turn your life into a living nightmare... if you allow them!

By the time debt collection companies are done with the average American debtor, that person is tittering on the brink of a nervous breakdown. They are afraid to answer their own phone, pick up their mail, answer the door, go outside and even go to work. You don't have to live like that when you learn how to fight back.

Secondly, to determine if there is a possibility that you are a victim of unfair or illegal debt collection schemes and/or tactics. We dare say, based on the statistics and the alarming number of complaints and lawsuits filed against debt collectors, you probably are. If they have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the tide has turned; they may now owe you money!

Thirdly, to learn what you can do, (according to the law) to stop the phone calls, dunning letters, abuse and harassment. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is divided into 18 sections. I'll repeat this again, DO NOT proceed any further until you read each section in its entirety. After reading it, if you believe your rights have been violated, take the facts of your complaint and contact an attorney that understands the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act explicitly and specializes in fighting for the rights of consumers.

From the supplier: The relationship of fair values of equity and fair maturity debt securities and share prices of property-liability insurers is studied. Results show that fair values of equity investments and US Treasury investments can account for property-liability share prices after historical costs are controlled. Fair values of other investment securities do not account for the share prices beyond historical costs.

Debt Collector at Collectcorp Collection Agency - Recording of Call Made on Statutory Holiday

Listen to the debt collector at Collectcorp collection agency. She leaves voicemail stating what day she is calling. Of course she leaves her contact info too!

I have the original recording without my true name taken out as it is in this version of the public audio. By the way, be aware that Collectcorp will mask their caller ID too, like she did with this particular call. The number showed "OUTOFAREA" and the name "OUT_OF_AREA".

Getting Rid of Collection Agencies

Do you have a problem with collection agencies calling you all of the time? This can be very annoying for most people. No one wants to be constantly harassed by callers looking for money all of the time. And once a collection agency gets a hold of you, they will not let go. They will continue to keep calling you until you pay them or until you change your number. You can hang up on them repeatedly and they will continue to call.

So how do you get rid of a collection agency if you do not have the money to pay them? The easiest way to get rid of them is to write to them and tell them not to call you any longer. Send them a certified letter and instruct them not to call you. If they continue to harass you, you can move against them for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Act.

Another way that you can get rid of collection agencies is to wait until they give up and have their documentation removed from your credit report. Collection agencies are hired by lenders when they cannot collect a debt. The collection agent will continue to do everything possible to contact a borrower to get money. They may not be successful and will then sell the debt to yet another, and even more aggressive collection agency. This can continue down the line until the debt is charged off.

Collection agencies are required to keep records of the debts that they are owed. They are often the ones who will report a charge off on your credit report, or even a late pay. You can dispute this with the credit bureau by demanding that they provide you with the debt contract. In many cases, the collection agencies will not have the debt contract and then will be forced to drop the debt from the credit report.

In some cases, a collection agency can be wrong regarding the amount that you owe. Or they may continue to try to collect even if you already pay. You have a right to dispute the information the collection agency provides to the credit bureaus.

It is often easier to get rid of collection agencies after they have given up on trying to retrieve money from you. Credit repair service companies can get rid of these reports for you. A good credit repair company can help you get rid of a collection agencies that have provided negative information to the credit bureaus. They can turn your credit around so that you can finally shake loose the collection agency once and for all.

Get More Time to Pay a Bill With No Consequences

This one is for all of you out there that have anything in collections, or possibly going to collections.

Did you know that in order to keep a bill from hitting your credit report, if it is placed at a collection agency, it needs to be paid within 30 days? Here's an explanation of why and how to beat it.

A collection agency has the legal right to report something to the credit report as soon as they send out their collection notice, but they don't and here's why. When you receive your collection notice it should clearly state that you have 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt.

This 30-days is called the validation period and is required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Now since you have 30 days to dispute this you are going to want to wait until about day 25 or so and then register mail them a dispute letter. The letter needs to state that you dispute the validity of this debt and refuse to pay it until it has been verified.

Depending on what type of debt you have in collections, and how busy the agency is at that time of year, is going to determine how long it is going to take to get your debt verified. Since the FDCPA states that a collection agency has to attempt to get verification from another source they have to take the time to get back with the original creditor and get them to get the proof. This usually isn't their top priority, and it can take up to a month or more, but usually around 20-25 days or so and they will get it validated. After they validate it they will send it back to you. Keep in mind that it will also take time for the letter to get to you.

The reason this is a trick is that the FCRA won't let a collection agency report something that is disputed in writing to your credit within the 30 day validation period. Most collection agencies report to the credit bureaus only once a month. The chances are in the average 20 plus extra days you got from the dispute, you probably missed another credit reporting, giving you usually an entire month extra than you originally had to get something paid in full and keeps it off your credit report.

Completely legal trick and will work absolutely every time.

Note: When your bill is at your original creditor. 98 times out of 100 they will usually work with you on a payment plan and never send you to collections. As long as you keep the payment plan. That being said, if you want a bill to stay out of collections offer your original creditor a monthly amount that you know you will always be able to pay and set that as your arrangement with them. Not what you think you CAN be able to pay them. What you WILL be able to pay them. You need to be the one calling them to set up that plan not the other way around. If you wait for them to call you they might just not call and send you to collections. (Like I said earlier if you want to keep a bill off your credit report, it has to be PAID IN FULL before they report to your credit, not just on a payment plan.) Keep that in mind because a debt collector is definitely not going to tell you that when your about to pay a bill.

FDCPA - An Example Of Third Party Contacts To Harass A Consumer

We talk about a debt collector who was very bold in violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) - he said "I will call your neighbors and family members and harass them over this debt while you are sitting at home not being called."

Debt Collection Process

No one is free from becoming indebted, but people with impulsive behaviors and compulsive buyers are the most prone to fall into great amounts of debt. After this happens, specialized agencies start the collection process.

The most common collectors are attorneys who, on a regular basis, collect debts. According to the 1986 amendment of the Fair Debt collection Practices Act, said lawyers are considered debt collectors.

Now we know who the collector is. So who is the debtor? A person who:

- owes a personal loan

- uses a credit card (let us presume that is a excessive use)

- is actually paying a home loan (home mortgage)

By law, how does the debt collection procedure work?
The collection responsibility rests on the hands of the designated attorney. How he collects money from the debtor is also his responsibility. No forceful means will be allowed. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act demands a fair treatment to any debtor. Lawyers cannot use any threatening method to collect the money involved.

Can a lawyer or collection agency harass me?
By law, no lawyer or collection agency can harass a debtor. According to the law, any debt collector is restricted from exercising any threat of violence or causing any damage to a debtor. Collection agencies are forbidden to publish any debtor's name in public nor can they harass debtors by phone. People should know that the law is on their side.

Debt collectors are not supposed to:

- collect an amount greater than the original debt

- previously deposit a post-dated check

- introduce themselves as government workers

- take away your house or property or threaten to do so.

- make false statements on government policies

- force you to accept calls

Whenever a debt collector brakes the law by practicing any of the aforementioned activities, punishment can be severe. You could also sue these lawyers, and you have one year to start the process. After winning the lawsuit, you recover the money because of all the damage suffered. You also receive the court costs and attorney fees. The law may protect you from harassment from lawyers, but it will not prevent you from paying your debts.

Laws About Collection Calls

Many times the nasty collection calls can become irritating because they are placed during the evenings when you are trying to feed your family or when you have company. The collection caller can become rude and even threatening. This is not necessary because you have rights as a debtor to your privacy at home. The fact that you owe a debt does not give the collector the right to call you anytime day or night and threaten or aggravate you.

You should check with your state legislation to find out what the law is concerning your state about receiving debt collection calls for your protection and peace of mind. There is a federal law that is in existence called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) that has set guidelines for when a debt collector can call. The reason is that some debt collectors can go overboard when it comes to trying to get you to make a payment. You may owe the bill but your circumstances prevent you from making a payment. You should get credit counseling followed by pay arrangements to each of your debtors to prevent any debt collector from taking you to court or causing your wage to be garnisheed when you are able to return to work. These are specific problems you might find yourself faced with when you owe and are not able to make a payment.

Whatever your circumstances that prevent you from making a payment you are protected by law from being harassed by debt collectors. The debt collectors may not call you during times "which should be known to be inconvenient." The debt collector may not call you if you have issued a letter of cease and desist all collection calls. The debt collector may call you only one time after receiving your letter. A debt collector does not have the right to call and harass you while you are at work jeopardizing your job. A debt collector may not call you if you are incapacitated by being hospitalized or in a nursing care facility. You have the right to recover from any severe accident or illness without being constantly harassed by a debt collector.

A debt collector prefers a phone call to written notices because what is being said cannot be used against them It is your right to request that they put all collections in writing, stating when you need to pay and how much. You have the right to dispute any wrong information and ask for documentation to prove what the debt collector is requesting that you owe. You as a debtor may owe the bill and should make some pay arrangements but you have the right to peace of mind in your home that is why there is a law that protects you from collection calls.

Applying Antiquated Laws to Current Collections Technology

So the question is how these outdated laws are applied to current collections and debt buying technology? This is a difficult area and gray. The beginnings of understanding how these laws apply to current technology is to first understand exactly what these laws mean for the industry. There are some fundamental principles that are commonly known about the two acts. However, a thorough knowledge of the Internships Fair Debt CollectionLaw> will be very difficult to cover in this type of setting. The best way to understand these laws is to take courses in their meaning and use of field collections.

The most important and best known law, consumer protection phone for the collections industry is the act that prevents contact by telephone, without the express consent of the consumer. There is a big problem with this. According to a study byPew Internet and American Life Project, 25 percent of Americans only have a cell phone and landline. The Fair Practices Debt Collection Act limits further by prohibiting telephone contact to the home of a working person or company are personal calls are prohibited by company policy. Therefore, 25 percent of Americans, there is no way to contact them by phone collections industry. This is a problem, and we must learn to find ways around it, finding other means of contact.

This is where things get risky. There are laws against spam, but other than that there are no laws on the use of the Internet to contact someone to collect a debt. If a collector is the email address of a debtor can use the e-mail in almost all sense to choose to contact the debtor regarding the debt. This is totally unregulated. Due to this fact, manyCollections> Agencies not using the Internet to contact the debtor, because he is not sure where the boundaries are. So basically, the only way to get in touch with these people is email, which is very unreliable because people can throw away the call without thinking twice.

E 'of vital importance, such as debt buyers or collections, you fully understand the laws and how they affect the industry and our current rapidly changingtechnology. It is the responsibility of those involved in the collection of a good education in these areas, ensuring it is operating within the law and still see the results in its collection efforts.

Failure to know, understand and follow these laws can result in costly lawsuits against the company and individual collection, the tax collector. WebRecon Stats LLC (http://www.WebRecon.com), more of 1750 claims arealready been filed this year. Of those, 1676 were FDCPA violations, 181 FCRA violations, 88 TILA violations and 97 TCPA. Sadly, those numbers are continuing to climb each and every month.

In an industry that resolves around numbers, it's really simple. Lack of education can cost you BIG dollars and perhaps kick you out of the game permanently.

Medical Debt Help: Beware of Junk Debt Buyers

Junk Debt Buyers are also known by the perfumed name debt acquisition companies. What these companies specialize in is to assume the debts due to bankruptcy, unpaid mortgages, settlement or medical bills. The intangible nature of debt makes it very easy for a company to trade it with another collection agency. This has become a problem in the United States although not much attention is given to it, again because nobody could keep track of what everybody is doing as the federal government struggles to keep the economy afloat. So if you suspect that you are dealing with a junk buyer, seek medical debt help immediately.

First and foremost, you can go to a lawyer. Trading debts is illegal in all states and your lawyer can petition the court anytime which would result in the dismissal of the collection case filed by the junk debt buyer against you.

As you can see, there's a lot of risks involved for the junk debt buyer. So how do you explain why the practice is still proliferating? The easy answer, of course, is they get away with it by pressuring families that they will be haled to court if they won't pay their obligations. Usually, families don't know that their medical bills have already been sold to a junk debt buyer.

Second, the legal system has several weak points that allows these junk debt buyers to continue with the illegal practice. Just to cite an example, once you fail to seek medical debt help and default on your payments, the hospital will send your case to a collection agency. When your debts are sold to another company, the collection agency is not mandated by law to report any transaction to the credit bureau, which would have nipped the practice in the bud. Other debts that are considered suspect is when it is under litigation as in the case of bankruptcy or settlement.

To be clear, the practice of hospitals to hire collection agencies to do the dirty job for them in case of unpaid medical bills is not illegal. Once the junk debt buyer purchases that same debt from the collection agency, however, that's when the questions rise.

Essentially, what these collection agencies and junk debt buyers are doing is violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Under the law, they are mandated to inform you about the transaction but they are in a Catch-22 situation: they tell you and risked being alerted to authorities, they stay silent and break the law. The second option it turns out is more palatable considering the number of junk debt buyers still operating in the country. If you seek medical debt help for a lawyer, for example, you would know how to proceed such as demanding from the junk debt buyer the original documents and contracts, which it is in no position to do. Any lawyer worth his salt will not only ask the judge to strike off your debts but also impose sanction on the debt acquisition company.
