Rewards660 Complaint - Phone Calls - Credit Card

Credit Card - Complaint
Review by lelee29 on 2008-06-21
SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA -- I have complaint on the Rewards 660 credit card. I have had the card for over a year and always paid more or if anything the payment amount. On April 17th I had surgery and was not able to work I have not been back to work yet and every day I receive at least three phone calls from the company. I did call them to inform them that I was not working right now and when I would be able to send them a payment. It is to the point where I do not even answer the phone anymore. I let it go straight to voice mail and yes there is a message left, but per the FDCA (fair debt collection act) if the leave a message once then they are not allowed to call back the same day that is considered harassment, even if you owe money or not.

It really upsets me because I always made my payments until I had to have surgery. Does anyone else have this problem?

Regardless of what your past payment history is, your agreement with the credit card company is to pay the minimum EACH month.
If I am not mistaken, the FDCA applies to third party collection agencies and not in-house collection departments, though most in-house collections will follow it.
