-What Can We Do?
When you’re being harassed by a debt collector, it’s easy to feel powerless – but you’re not. Here are some of the ways we can help:
- Send a cease and desist letter demanding they stop all contact
- Force RS Clark to validate the debt and prove you actually owe it
- Fight any lawsuits they file with aggressive defense tactics
- Sue them for FDCPA violations and get compensated
We take an aggressive stance because that’s what it takes to get bullies like RS Clark off your back. And we don’t back down until they do.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a powerful federal law that protects consumers from abusive, deceptive debt collection tactics. It prohibits collectors like RS Clark from:
- Calling before 8am or after 9pm
- Contacting you at work if you’ve told them not to
- Threatening violence or using profane language
- Lying about the amount you owe or their authority
- Discussing your debt with third parties
If RS Clark has done any of those things, they’ve violated the FDCPA – and you may be entitled to damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees. We’ll make sure they pay.
-Common RS Clark Violations
RS Clark is known for some particularly egregious FDCPA violations, like:
- Calling repeatedly with the intent to harass or abuse
- Threatening legal action they can’t actually take
- Failing to identify themselves as debt collectors
- Continuing to call after you’ve requested they stop

Debt Validation: Forcing Them to Prove It
One of the most powerful tools in your arsenal is the debt validation letter. Under the FDCPA, you can demand that RS Clark provide evidence that:
- You actually owe the debt
- The amount they’re trying to collect is correct
- They have the legal authority to collect the debt
If they can’t validate the debt by providing documentation like the original creditor agreement and account statements, they have to stop collection efforts immediately.It’s shocking how often debt collectors like RS Clark can’t actually back up their claims when pushed. By forcing debt validation, you can get them off your back for good – or at least buy yourself some time while they scramble to find proof.
Statute of Limitations on Debt
Another key defense is the statute of limitations on debts, which varies by state but is generally between 3-6 years for most types of consumer debt. If the debt is too old, RS Clark can’t sue you over it.Of course, they’ll rarely bring that up – <a href=”https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-common-tricks-debt-collectors-use”>it’s one of their favorite tricks</a> to try collecting on zombie debts that are legally uncollectible. We’ll make sure the statute of limitations is properly applied.
-Bankruptcy: A Fresh Start
For many clients drowning in debt, bankruptcy is the best solution. It immediately stops all debt collection efforts with an automatic stay. And in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, most debts like credit cards and medical bills are completely discharged.We know the idea of bankruptcy can be scary. But with our guidance, it can give you the fresh start you need to become debt-free and get RS Clark permanently off your back. During a free consultation, we’ll review your financial situation and advise if bankruptcy is the right path for you.
Credit Repair After Bankruptcy
Contrary to popular belief, bankruptcy isn’t a life sentence for your credit. By taking the right steps to rebuild your credit after bankruptcy, you can have great credit again in as little as 2-3 years.We’ll walk you through effective credit repair strategies like getting a secured credit card, becoming an authorized user, and aggressively disputing any incorrect negative items on your reports. Your financial future is bright with the right guidance.
How to Fight Debt Lawsuits
If RS Clark does file a debt collection lawsuit against you, don’t panic – but do take it seriously. Ignoring a summons can result in a default judgment, which allows collectors to garnish your wages or bank accounts.The good news? We can aggressively defend these lawsuits using strategies like:
-- Demanding strict proof of the debt and RS Clark’s authority
- Asserting violations of the FDCPA and state debt collection laws
- Challenging improper service or missed legal deadlines
- Negotiating affordable settlements to resolve the case
We have a long track record of getting debt lawsuits dismissed or settled for pennies on the dollar. With us in your corner, you don’t have to live in fear of a debt lawsuit.
Suing RS Clark for Violations
When a debt collector like RS Clark repeatedly violates consumer protection laws, the best defense is a good offense – by suing them. Under the FDCPA, you can recover up to $1,000 in statutory damages, plus actual damages like emotional distress.Even better, the FDCPA allows for class action lawsuits against debt collectors who systematically violate the law. We’ve taken on many class actions, winning millions for consumers collectively harmed by abusive collection practices.By suing, you don’t just get compensation – you hold unscrupulous collectors accountable and deter future violations. It’s a win-win for consumers.
