Phone harassment from debt collectors can be stressful, invasive, and even illegal. If you’ve been receiving relentless calls from Amos Financial or any other debt collection agency, you have rights under federal and state laws to stop the harassment.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover:
● What constitutes Amos Financial phone harassment
● Your legal rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
● How to stop unwanted calls from Amos Financial
● Steps to take if the harassment continues
● How to report illegal debt collection practices
By the end of this article, you’ll know exactly how to protect yourself from aggressive debt collectors and regain peace of mind.
Amos Financial is a debt collection agency that may contact consumers regarding unpaid debts. While debt collectors have the right to attempt to collect legitimate debts, they must follow strict guidelines under the FDCPA.
Phone harassment occurs when Amos Financial (or any debt collector):
● Calls repeatedly in a short period (multiple times a day)
● Calls outside allowed hours (before 8 AM or after 9 PM)
● Uses abusive, threatening, or deceptive language
● Fails to identify themselves as a debt collector
● Continues calling after you’ve requested they stop
● Calls you at work after you’ve told them not to
If you’re experiencing any of these behaviors, you may be a victim of illegal Amos Financial phone harassment.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects consumers from abusive debt collection tactics. Here’s what debt collectors CANNOT do:
✅ Call at unreasonable hours – Calls must be between 8 AM and 9 PM (your local time). ✅ Harass or threaten you – No threats of arrest, lawsuits, or violence. ✅ Lie about the debt – They cannot misrepresent the amount owed or falsely claim to be law enforcement. ✅ Contact third parties – They can’t discuss your debt with family, friends, or employers (except to locate you). ✅ Ignore a cease-and-desist request – If you send a written request to stop calls, they must comply (but can still pursue legal action).
If Amos Financial violates these rules, you may be able to sue them for damages.
The first step is to tell the collector to stop calling you. You can say:
"I do not wish to receive further phone calls from Amos Financial regarding this debt. All communication must be in writing from now on."
Under the FDCPA, they must honor this request—though they may still send letters or take legal action.
For stronger legal protection, send a certified cease-and-desist letter (keep a copy for your records).
Sample Letter:
[Your Name] [Your Address] [Date]
Amos Financial [Collector’s Address]
Re: Account # [Your Account Number]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally request that you cease all telephone communications with me regarding the above-referenced debt. Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), I demand that you stop calling me immediately.
All future communications must be in writing. Failure to comply with this request may result in legal action.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
Send this via certified mail with return receipt to ensure proof of delivery.
While a cease-and-desist letter is the most effective legal method, you can also:
● Block the number on your phone (works for repeated calls from the same number).
● Use call-blocking apps (e.g., Nomorobo, Truecaller).
● Contact your phone carrier (some offer spam-blocking services).
Document every call, including:
● Date & time
● Caller’s name & number
● Summary of the conversation
● Any threats or abusive language
This evidence can help if you file a complaint or lawsuit.
If the calls continue after your cease-and-desist request, you have several options:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) investigates debt collection violations
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the FDCPA.
Many states have stronger debt collection laws than the FDCPA. Check your state’s consumer protection office.
If Amos Financial repeatedly violates the law, you may be entitled to:
● Up to $1,000 in statutory damages
● Reimbursement for attorney fees
● Compensation for emotional distress
Consult a consumer rights attorney to explore your options.
A: They can only contact others to locate you—not discuss your debt. If they reveal your debt to third parties, it’s an FDCPA violation.
A: Dispute it in writing within 30 days of first contact. Request validation of the debt. If they can’t prove it, they must stop collection efforts.
A: No. Threatening arrest or legal action they don’t intend to take is illegal.
A: No. A cease-and-desist stops phone calls, but they can still sue you or report the debt to credit bureaus.
Dealing with Amos Financial phone harassment can be overwhelming, but you have legal rights. By sending a cease-and-desist letter, blocking calls, and reporting violations, you can stop the harassment and hold debt collectors accountable.
If the calls persist, don’t hesitate to take legal action. No one should endure abusive debt collection tactics.
