Legal Defenders For Your Debt Collection Harassment in Massachusetts

Dealing with constantly bombarded harassing phone calls, threatening letters, or aggressive tactics from debt collectors, can have a substantial impact on your mental and emotional health. Harassment by debt collectors may also lead to significant monetary repercussions. Debt collection harassment may put undue stress, leading you to pay more than you should or owe. As a result, you may find it much more difficult to recover financially and get your life back in order.
But with Zemel Law, you need not to worry about such situations. Ensuring the defense of your rights and the provision of adequate legal counsel are our utmost priorities. You can breathe easy knowing that our seasoned Massachusetts debt collection lawyer is well-versed in retaliating against debt collection harassment. We advise people about the laws governing the communication between debt collectors in Massachusetts, which are governed by federal and state jurisdictions. We use universally applicable rules to ensure the debt collection agency pays fines and costs when it makes a mistake.
Understanding Debt Collection Harassment in Massachusetts
Repeated phone calls, nasty language, or the disclosure of your debt to other parties without your permission are all examples of abusive or harassing activity that debt collectors are not allowed to engage in. Furthermore, collectors should not engage in dishonest or misleading activities when disclosing facts on the debt. In Massachusetts, individuals harassed or threatened by debt collectors may report the incident to the state's attorney general or seek legal help from the law firm dealing with such cases to protect their rights and live peacefully.
Take action against the companies that may be violating your rights.
Signs You're a Victim of Debt Collection Harassment in Massachusetts
If You're Facing Persistent and Aggressive Communication
If you get many phone calls, emails, or letters from debt collectors throughout the day, and they often use hostile or threatening language, debt collectors may be harassing you. Despite your efforts to reason with them or explain the circumstances associated with your predicament, the frequency and intensity of their contact continue to be unrelenting.
You're Threatened with Legal Action
Are debt collectors threatening to take legal action against you, such as suing you, garnishing your wages, or seizing your property, even if they lack the legal authority or intent to do so? These threats are often used as scare tactics to coerce you into paying the debt.
Your Debt Is Disclosed to Third Parties
Has information about your debt been disclosed to third parties, such as family members, friends, or employers, without your consent? Debt collectors may contact these individuals to embarrass and pressure you into paying, violating your privacy rights and causing embarrassment or distress.
You're Harassed at Work or in Social Settings
Are you receiving continuous calls from debt collectors at your place of employment, even though your company has a policy that bans conversations of this nature? It is also possible for them to harass you in public locations or social situations, which may cause disruption and discomfort in both your personal and professional life circumstances.
Abusive Language Is Used
Do debt collectors use offensive, vulgar, or abusive language when communicating with you? It is possible that they would criticize or ridicule you, using disparaging or threatening language to coerce you into paying the debt.
If False Representations Are Made
Is the debt collector trying to trick you into paying by making up stories? This may include making up the amount you owe, pretending to be someone they're not, or even threatening you with legal action they can't carry out.
If Communication Continues Despite Cease Request
Have you asked debt collectors to stop contacting you, but they keep calling anyway? Their persistence in harassing you continues despite your repeated requests that they cease.

My wife and I have repeatedly been contacted by debt collectors for debts we did not owe. Mr. Zemel resolved the issues quickly and painlessly and not only did we not pay the debt collectors, they ended up paying us!

Henry Johnson
Zelel Law contacted me prior to me even realizing I was illegally being sued (and paying) on a prior debt. Less than a year later they had to contact me again to have me sign a release on an excellent settlement offer from the company that sued me. I agreed and am happy to say, this firm is by far one of a kind!

Alfonzo Roberts Jr.
I am so grateful to Daniel and his team! I was harassed (inappropriately) by a debt collector. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive in handling my case. During the deposition I was nervous; though he was fantastic about being calming and engaging as well as relatable. He was able to get me an award that was above and beyond what I thought I was entitled to. Seriously, the BEST experience ever!!!
