Your rights when Resurgent Capital Services calls
Two federal rules control how Resurgent Capital Services may contact you. The FDCPA (15 U.S.C. § 1692c) gives you the right to cut off contact entirely with a written request. Regulation F, in force since 2021, adds hard limits on call frequency: a collector may not call you more than 7 times within 7 days about a single debt, and after speaking with you they must wait 7 days before calling about that debt again.
- Validate first. Within 30 days of first contact you can demand proof of the debt. Collection must pause until they provide it.
- Then send a written cease and desist. Cite 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(c) and send it by USPS Certified Mail with return receipt. Phone requests do not trigger the law. It has to be in writing.
- Keep everything. Save the receipt, the green card, and a log of any call after delivery. Each violation is worth up to $1,000 in statutory damages plus attorney fees, and consumer attorneys take these cases on contingency.
