Who Is FirstCredit, Inc.?
FirstCredit, Inc. is a third-party debt collection agency specializing in recovering unpaid debts for clients in sectors such as healthcare and government services. Debt collectors, including FirstCredit, Inc., must comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which establishes strict rules to protect consumers from abusive practices.
FDCPA Rights
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) shields you from unfair, unethical, and harassing behavior by debt collectors.
Here are some of your key rights under the law:
- Social Media Contact: Debt collectors cannot post about your debt publicly on social media. They may only contact you privately through these platforms if the platform’s rules permit it.
- Calls at Work: Collectors cannot contact you at work if they are aware your employer prohibits such calls.
- Contacting Friends or Family: Collectors are not allowed to discuss your debt with third parties, such as friends or family. They may only reach out to others to locate you without disclosing details about the debt.
- Hours: Debt collectors cannot call you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. unless you have explicitly agreed to those hours.
If FirstCredit, Inc. violates any of these rights, you have the legal right to hold them accountable and seek compensation under the FDCPA.
