Will a debt settlement program stop the harassing phone calls?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, if you enroll in a debt settlement program where an attorney provides you representation, it may stop the harassing calls from creditors and debt collectors. Under federal law, debt collectors as that term is defined, once you are represented by an attorney the debt collector has to stop the harassing calls. They have to. That's not the same for state law. However, California has a more inclusive statute that protects consumers from harassing calls and only an attorney can make sure that that stops. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri. We work hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, California. If you need an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

What do I do if a debt collector has violated the law?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

In California, if you believe a debt collector has cross the line or violated the law, what you first must do is document the wrongdoing. So many times I have clients that come in and they tell me in general that a debt collector has crossed the line, but what I specifically need to know, or what an attorney needs to know is what exactly were the bad acts? For example, a common violation is phone calls- harassing phone calls by the debt collectors after the given time periods. Or they've said harassing or abusive things to that consumer. You need to document that, get the time, date, who you spoke with and what was said, and give that over to your attorney and that's the first step in prosecuting one of these claims. I'm Vincent Howard, senior and managing partner for Howard Nassiri. We word hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County, CA. If you need an attorney you can trust, go ahead and give us a call.

What laws protect me from workplace harassment in New York?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

There are no laws in New York that prevent an employee from being harassed in the state of New York. It's a common misunderstanding that many employees have, they believe that if their boss is being rude to them, is being hostile to them, is giving them more work than someone else, that that is legal. I often receive phone calls by people who believe that they have a cause of action for wrongful termination. There's no such thing as wrongful termination in New York, it's a broad term that is used to describe employment discrimination, but it does not protect someone who is just merely being harassed in the workplace. My name is Walker Harman, I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.
