Creditors hire collectors to pressure you into paying as much as they can get, and they’ll then pocket a percentage of whatever you pay your creditors. Collection calls are a natural part of debt resolution programs, and are actually a key indicator that your debt resolution program is working! Our most successful clients choose to let calls from unrecognized numbers go to voicemail. There are even free apps you can download on a smartphone to block certain calls.
Thanks to federal and state laws, you have rights against collection harassment. If you accidentally end up speaking to a collector, you should let the collector know you’re working with Beyond, so they should call us instead of you. Then, make sure to let us know about the call, including which collector is calling you and when they called you. We want to get your creditors to call us if they’re looking to receive payment, not you.
