What Does KLS Financial Services Do?

Debt collectors like KLS Financial Services - founded in 2017 in North Carolina - typically act as a third-party that purchases debt from original creditors, generally on a discounted basis. They also work with businesses who no longer wish to maintain their uncollected debts and turn that responsibility over to a professional debt collector for a fee.

Once the debt collector assumes responsibility for collecting the money owed, they will attempt to contact and correspond with borrowers in efforts to remind them of their financial obligation and eventually receive payment. Debt collectors are responsible for managing accounts with potential risk or delinquency and negotiating repayment schedule agreements or forgiving remaining balance when appropriate.

Is KLS Financial Services a Legitimate Company?

Why Am I Getting Phone Calls from KLS Financial Services? 

Receiving a letter about an unrecognized debt can be an extremely alarming experience. If you have received notice that you are being pursued by KLS Financial Services, take some time to evaluate the situation before taking any action. 

Sometimes debts become unpaid and unnoticed because of a change in address or simply not receiving the bill. However, the debt might even not be yours in the first place. If you think this may be the case, it's important to consider the reason for the mistake. Common circumstances where consumers are pursued for debts that are not theirs include the following:

• Paid Debts

Any debts that have already been settled by the individual should not appear on their credit report.

• Unclaimed Debts

If a debt does not belong to you, any information related to it should be removed from your credit report.

• Identity Theft Accounts

If any accounts were opened or used without permission due to identity theft, these should be removed from the credit report as well.

• Falsely Reported Debt

If any debts are reported on the credit report as being late or unpaid in error, these must be corrected immediately.

Don't let yourself be pushed around if you feel a collections agency is attempting to collect on a debt that does not belong to you. You have the right to stand up for yourself and get false items removed from your credit report. Contact Fair Credit - we will dispute errors with the credit bureaus and ensure they are removed.

What Can I Do If I’m Being Harassed by KLS Financial Services?

If you're being pursued for a debt, keep in mind that you have rights under the FDCPA. This federal law enforces certain regulations on how debt collectors may contact you, with measures in place to protect against fraudulent or aggressive behavior. With these laws in mind, debt collectors are forbidden from using harassing tactics such as continual phone calls and speaking in an authoritative voice.

The law also stipulates that they must not provide false or misleading information when collecting monies owed. Familiarizing yourself with the FDCPA is your best defense against unfair collection practices. By understanding the legal restrictions placed on debt collectors, you are better positioned to recognize any violations that should be reported and addressed accordingly. Here is an outline of prohibited behaviors:

• Harassing consumers with abusive language
• Using false or deceptive practices to collect a debt
• Making repeated phone calls intended to annoy, abuse, or harass a consumer
• Publishing the consumer's name on any list of delinquent debtors
• Sending misleading letters that imply they are from an attorney or government agency when they are not
• Collecting debt that is not legitimately owed
• Threatening legal action when no such action is allowed by law

Additionally, making sure all correspondence or phone conversations are documented with written proof ensures that you have a record should legal action be deemed necessary or if authority figures need to be involved. 

In these cases, seeking the support of a knowledgeable attorney may also be beneficial as they have greater access to additional resources and can provide you with legal guidance in order to exercise your rights fairly.
