Debt harassment from Amos Financial LLC?
Although Amos Financial LLC is legally entitled to collect all of the debts you owe, they are restricted in the methods they can employ in collecting those debts by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the law passed Congress in 1977 as an amendment to the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not cover your original lender agreement, however, all third-party debt collection agencies who are regularly engaged in the debt collection process are covered by the provisions of this act. Furthermore, many states have statutes that regulate the practices of debt collection agencies, so if Amos Financial LLC has acted in a way that is inappropriate, you can rest assured that you are protected by the law.
Debt collectors such as Amos Financial LLC must act in accordance with the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), which protects the rights of consumers in the context of debt collection. Failure to comply can attract a fine of up to $1000 in statutory damages.
What if you are sued by Amos Financial LLC?
You may receive a court summon over a debt that you have failed to resolve. If you receive one of these court summonses, you may think that they are not a big deal and ignore them; don’t. Ignoring even a small civil court lawsuit can have several unforeseen repercussions.
The most obvious impact is that even a small debt can multiply several times over once it goes through the civil court process. That is because many creditors such as credit card companies, banks, and medical billing companies, will add interest, penalties, and their own attorney fees to this debt once it passes through the court process.
Although these items are governed by contract, it may be difficult for you to determine whether the additional fees you are required to pay are calculated properly. This is how you can end up paying thousands of dollars more than what you actually owe.
Furthermore, if you ignore a court summon brought against you by Amos Financial LLC, it may result in a default judgment being levied against you. The ripple effects of a default judgment being levied against you are bad for you and your credit score. Therefore, if you receive a civil court summons and complaint or any other type of court papers, it is in your best interest to contact a qualified debt collection attorney to represent you, Call us now on 844-791-1990.

Get familiar with the TCPA Laws
As a consumer in the United States, it is important to note that you have rights that the law demands must be respected. Every organization practicing within the United States would have to possess a complete TCPA compliance checklist and train their staff to abide by it. They would have to keep all the laws stipulated by the TCPA when conducting business over the telephone if they wish to avoid being on the wrong side of the law.
An organization that flouts its customer’s TCPA rights when contacting them via telephone or other electronic means of communication can be sued and made to face justice to the full extent permitted by the law.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act stipulates that telephone solicitation representatives conducting business over the phone must provide:
- Their name
- The name of the person or organization on whose behalf the call is being made
- A telephone number or address at which the person or organization may be reached.
The TCPA further prohibits:
- Automatic dialing systems
- Pre-recorded messages
- Unwanted SMS text messages
- Calls for which a charge is made to the account of the receiver
- Unsolicited advertisements by fax
You may have a case against Amos Financial LLC if they have violated any of your TCPA rights.
