Fair Debt Collection Laws

Creditors are barred under the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Florida’s Consumer Collection Practices Act from taking certain actions while attempting to collect a debt. If a creditor violates the federal act, you must sue within one year. The state law gives you up to two years to file an action.

Here are some of the practices that the acts prohibit creditors from engaging in:

Attempting to collect debt while the bankruptcy stay is in effect
Attempting to collect debt that has been discharged in bankruptcy
Using or threatening force or violence
Using profane, obscene, vulgar or abusive language
Creating a guise of being an attorney or working for an attorney
Simulating in any manner a law enforcement officer or governmental agency
Disclosing the debt to any other persons or even conveying to the debtor that this information will be conveyed to anyone else
Publishing or threatening to publish information about the debt
Communicating with you between the hours of 9 P.M. and 8 A.M.
Communicating with you if the debt collector knows you are represented by an attorney (with a few exceptions here)
Threatening you with arrest or imprisonment for failing to pay a debt

There can be numerous other improper debt collection practices violations. You can read more about that here.

Mr. Rosen was recommended to us by our friends and we highly recommend him for his excellent service. He represented us in the matter of foreclosure defense. His comprehensive and detailed knowledge of Florida law, federal law, and ongoing relevant cases was key to building a robust and winning strategy for our case. He presented us with several options and the risks associated with each, but ultimately, we picked the one that worked best for us. Mr. Rosen and his legal team are highly professional and always easily approachable via phone or e-mail. Once again, highly recommended. Jadwiga M.

In a few words, Evan Rosen saved my house. He got a final judgment in my favor. The judge gave the bank many opportunities (continuance of the trial even a mistrial) to solve all the issues that Evan Rosen will bring up to the judge (issues that were wrong with my case). In the end, his arguments could not be overlooked by the judge and Evan won the judgment in favor of the defendant (me) and an involuntary dismissal of the case. If you want to have the best chances to win your foreclosure case, you need Evan Rosen on your side. He is the Super Lawyer. I have seen him flying out of the courthouse. Oscar D.
