Who is Calling 888-228-4840?
If you’re receiving persistent calls from 888-228-4840, it may be from Pinnacle Financial Group, a debt collection agency. Like all debt collectors, Pinnacle Financial Group must comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which protects consumers from harassment, deception, and unfair collection practices.
Your FDCPA Violations Checklist for Pinnacle Financial Group
✓ Harassing or excessive calls:
Debt collectors cannot call repeatedly to annoy, abuse, or pressure you into paying. If 888-228-4840 is calling multiple times per day or refusing to leave messages, this may be considered harassment.
✓ Failure to provide proper debt validation:
Within five days of their initial contact, Pinnacle Financial Group must send a written notice that includes the amount owed, the creditor’s name, and your right to dispute the debt. If they have not provided this information, they may be violating federal law.
✓ Misleading or false threats:
A debt collector cannot falsely claim legal action, threaten wage garnishment, or imply that you could be arrested for non-payment. If 888-228-4840 has used intimidation or deception, they may be acting unlawfully.
✓ Contacting you after a written request to stop:
If you have requested in writing that Pinnacle Financial Group cease communication, they must comply. Continuing to call, send letters, or attempt collection after such a request is a direct violation of the FDCPA.
✓ Attempting to collect unauthorized fees:
The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from charging additional fees, interest, or penalties that were not included in the original agreement or permitted by law. If 888-228-4840 is demanding more than you legally owe, they could be in violation.
