Repeated phone calls, threats of legal action, contacting your workplace, and disclosing debt to others are all forms of harassment that may violate federal law. Lamont Hanley Associates must comply with the FDCPA, which prohibits excessive calls, abusive behavior, and intimidation. You are entitled to a written validation notice within five days of the first contact; if you did not receive one, your rights have been violated. Abusive language, threats, and intimidation are not legal and could entitle you to damages. Understanding these protections empowers you to take action and stop harassment before it escalates. Keep records of all communications and seek legal support to protect yourself.
