Who’s Calling from 844-421-7502?
If you’re receiving calls from 844-421-7502, it’s likely Wakefield & Associates, a debt collection agency. While they have the right to contact you about a debt, they must follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)—a law that protects consumers from unfair or abusive collection tactics.
Not sure if they’re following the rules? Here’s what to look out for.
Is Wakefield & Associates Breaking the Rules?
✅ Calling Too Much or at the Wrong Times?
Debt collectors aren’t allowed to call you repeatedly or at unreasonable hours. If they’re calling before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., that could be a violation of federal law.
✅ Using Harassment or Threats?
No debt collector should ever yell, threaten, or intimidate you. If any call from them has made you feel pressured or uneasy, that’s not okay.
✅ Not Providing Proof of the Debt?
If you request it, they must send written proof of the debt within five days of their first call. This should include details like the creditor’s name and the amount owed. If they haven’t done that, they may not be following the law.
✅ Talking to Other People About Your Debt?
Debt collectors can’t tell your family, friends, or employer about your debt. The only reason they can contact someone else is to ask for your location, but they can’t mention why they’re looking for you.
✅ Lying About the Debt?
Some collectors mislead people by exaggerating how much is owed, threatening legal action they won’t take, or misrepresenting who they are. If this has happened to you, it could be an FDCPA violation.
