nusteem Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I am the owner of a small business. I have 3 debt collectors that have us on the auto dialer that leaves messages to return a call back to them. Calls come in 3-4 times a week. What can a business owner do? I have thought of sending in a cease and desist letter, without the name of the debtor, in forming them to stop and cease all communication.. If I do this without the name, will this still give me the legal leverage to sue if they sill do not stop?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torden Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Can you be more specific? Without what name? Are they asking for someone of a specific name, or the name of the business, or not giving a name of who they are calling? Are they saying who they are? Is the caller's name what you are referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTO429 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Are they original creditors or just debt collectors?If they are debt collectors that have obtained your debt by purchasing it, it is against the TCPA. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) prohibits debt collectors from calling you on your cell phone, among other things, unless you've given them express written consent to do so. Even though the TCPA has been in place for over 15 years, debt collectors continue to violate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nusteem Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 They are calling a "work" phone, no cell phone here. Calling for an old employee........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stStep Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You can probably send a cease and desist...or better yet, have a lawyer do it for you. CAs tend to pay attention to law firm letter head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
