Getting Calls from 877-825-4490? Here’s What’s Going On
If your phone’s been ringing off the hook with calls from 877-825-4490, there’s a good chance it’s Apelles, a debt collection agency. .
Debt collectors have laws they need to follow—specifically, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). But let’s be real: not all of them play by the book. If you’ve been dealing with calls that feel pushy, aggressive, or just plain wrong, here’s what to watch out for:
👉 Calling at all hours – Ever get a call way too early or late at night? That’s illegal. Debt collectors aren’t allowed to call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.
👉 Harassment or intimidation – Nobody should be yelling at you over the phone or trying to scare you into paying. If a collector has been aggressive, that’s a major red flag.
👉 No proof of the debt – If someone’s saying you owe money, they legally have to send proof within five days of their first call. No letter? That’s not okay.
👉 Talking to other people about your debt – A collector isn’t supposed to call your boss, friends, or family about what you owe. If that’s happened, they may have violated your rights.
👉 Misleading or lying about what you owe – If they’re making threats about lawsuits, inflating your balance, or saying things that just don’t add up, they could be breaking the law.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to just sit back and take it.
You Can Do Something About It
Here’s the deal: if Apelles (or any debt collector) steps out of line, you may be able to take legal action. In some cases, you could even get compensated for what they’ve put you through.
