I heard about this new business, factoring buying debts. Is this the reason the credit collection industry has become so aggressive? Is this the reason for increased credit collector violations? I'm getting collection agencies calling me at home, at work, and these debt settlement companies too. Collection agencies are even calling me at work, but the debt settlement companies say they can stop calls, and reduce my debt, interest and late fees. Is this true, can debt settlement companies stop calls, and reduce my debt? Hey this is serious intruding on my life, it is an intrusion on my life, threats to sue me, garnishee my wages, this is changing my life. What can I do? Is this legal calling my job? Answer is no, not if you write to them, and say communicate with me in writing only, don't call home or job. Learn the law-The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Abusive collection agency tactics are not being reported because of lack of knowledge of the law.
