Many people that are in debt and being harassed by debt collectors do not realize that their rights are being violated. People that find themselves in the position of having to deal with aggressive debt collectors should contact a debt settlement attorney immediately. A qualified debt settlement attorney can stop the harassment, ensure that their clients’ rights are not being violated, and often negotiate a reasonable settlement.
