Is Westhill Exchange calling relentlessly?

Being in debt is never a fun place to be in, but it’s definitely one that has been experienced by almost every adult. If a debt collection agent from Westhill Exchange is calling you, then it is most likely because you have defaulted on your loan payments to your original lender, and therefore, your account has been transferred or sold.

Debt collection is a huge industry today. Americans now hold over $12.73 trillion dollars in consumer debt, with over $1 trillion of that from credit cards. This is probably why debt collectors are more eager than ever to resolve delinquent accounts, and this has spurred the creation of many illegitimate tactics, which reach far beyond the boundaries of what is considered legal and ethical debt collection.

Regardless of how much you owe, what you must know is that the law is on your side. Laws like the FDCPA and TCPA exist to protect your rights against abuse by debt collectors during the process of debt collection.

5 Things Debt Collectors wish you wouldn’t know

1. Time is not on their side:
Debt collectors don’t want you to know that they have only a few years (depending on state collection laws) to take legal action against you in a bid to compel you to make payment on a debt. This period of time is known as the statute of limitations. Once it expires, they can no longer take you to court, although the debt itself does not go away just because the statute of limitations has passed.
2. They earn based on Commissions:
Debt collectors are encouraged and incentivized to get the most money possible from the people who owe because they only get paid when they get you to resolve your delinquent debt. Agencies pay thousands of dollars in bonuses to the people who collect the most. This is not illegal, however, it may incentivize the debt collectors to invent several dubious tactics to get consumers to resolve debts quickly.
3. There are laws that restrict their calls:
If you fall behind on a debt, you will likely be contacted by a debt collection agency by phone. Sometimes there is a debt collector on the other end of the phone, other times it’s a robocall. While debt collectors are allowed to call you to collect a debt you owe, they must abide by the following rules:
• Debt collectors are not allowed to call you after the hours of 9 p.m. and before 8 a.m.
• Debt collectors cannot contact your place of employment unless you give them permission to do so
• Debt collectors cannot call you if you have requested not to receive further phone calls from them.
4. Debt Collectors are not allowed to publicize your Debt or discuss it with unauthorized parties:
Shame is synonymous with the inability to make payments on your debt. Unscrupulous debt collectors may try to shame you into paying by revealing the amount you owe to people you care about such as your friends, family, or employer. Under no circumstance should you tolerate such blatant misconduct.
5. There is often room for negotiation
You may not know this, but debt collectors often purchase debts for pennies on a dollar. What this means is that they may not require you to pay the full amount you owe before they are able to recover profit. For this reason, they are often open to negotiations.

Regardless of how shrewdly you try to navigate the debt collection world, there may still be certain pitfalls unseen to an untrained eye. It may be in your best interest to hire an experienced attorney to act on your behalf. Call us now on 844-791-1990.
