Calls from 800-550-5069: What You Need to Know

Are you getting frequent calls from 800-550-5069? Chances are that it's Transworld Systems, a collection agency, trying to reach you over some unsettled debt. What should you do now?

Why Am I Being Called?

There can be a lot of reasons why Transworld Systems may contact you, including:

• They believe that you owe money on a debt.
• They wish to confirm or update your contact information.
• Or follow up on accounts changes

If you don't recognize the debt or don't think it's valid, don't freak out-there are ways you can protect yourself.

Your Rights Under Federal Law

As a consumer, you're protected by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This law places limits on what debt collectors can do when communicating with you, including:

• Respecting Your Privacy: They can't talk about your debt to unauthorized third parties.
• Providing Proof: In writing, they have to validate that debt, upon request, before further collection.
• Avoiding Harassment: They can't make excessive calls, or threats, nor can they use deceptive tactics.
• Calling During Appropriate Times: Collectors can only call between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.

If they violate any of these protections, you may have a case.

What You Can Do

• Remain calm and seek details: Request information regarding the debt, including the original creditor and amount owed.
• Demand Written Validation: Make it a point to request in writing the proof of the debt before remitting any payment.
• Keep Record of Communications: Document the date, time, and substance of each call. Keep copies of letters or emails.
• Dispute any Errors: If you don't owe the debt, or if you think there's a mistake, dispute it in writing within 30 days.
• Seek Help if Harassed: If the calls are excessive or a violation of your rights, find an FDCPA attorney.

Red Flags: How to Identify Collection Practices That Are Against the Law

Watch for practices that signal an FDCPA violation and may include:

• Repeated calls daily or at restricted times.
• Threatening lawsuits they don't intend to file.
• Falsely identifying the amount of the debt or its type.
• Failure to provide verification of the debt after being asked for it.

If you are experiencing any of these, do not waste any time in taking the immediate action necessary to protect yourself.
