Is it legal that a car financing co. calls on Sunday?
I made arrangements to split my payment between 2 weeks and within my 10 day grace period. They called 2 days later on Sunday, Christmas Eve, at 7:30. I have already post dated a check for the following Friday. I know they will continue even though the payment arrangements are set.

I'm not sure about Sunday, but they can't call at work nor after 8 pm. There are laws they must work under.. they are defined under 'FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION'. I think it's USC(15) section 805 but I'm not sure... you can find it on the net.


One Sexy Jeep Girl
Yes they can call you on sundays there is NO law against calling on a certain day of the week. The law only states that they cant call you before or after a certain time of day or night.

Yes, but if they called at 7:30 AM, that is against the law. No business calls are to be made before 8 AM or after 9 PM. Go ahead and report them.


redunicorn
Yes it is illegal.

better not to deal with those kinds of people.

I googled 'bill collector' and looked at the first 2 sites - I couldn't find anything about Sunday - only about the time of day, just not the day.

So, maybe if you try the forum of the URL I'm providing you, maybe they'll be able to give you an intelligent answer.

Good luck to you.

Sunday, holidays etc don't matter. However there are limitations on the time of day the can call. They cannot call you at say 2am, that would be harassment.


?
yes

Ask to speak to a manager and explain to them that it is not necessary for them to call you again on the matter. Ask for the manager's name. That way they know you mean business.

After that, I would call them six or seven hours later to see if they made the note. If they did not ask to speak to another manager and tell them who it was you spoke to and that this person has not complied with your last communication.

I hope this helps.


BILL
Yes.


Catmmo
Yes there is a law on this. If you are in the US, check at your state government site - ie., Michigan.gov
I ran into this same issue, and you can claim harassment against the company that is calling - I forget the actual name of the act that is protecting us against this crap, but there is one - especially if they are calling at weird hours or if you have told them that you may only be reached at certain times.
