How to Stop GLA Collections Calls
You have several powerful options to stop these calls. Federal law protects you from abusive debt collection tactics.
Report Violations to the Authorities
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects you from harassment. GLA Collections must follow strict rules when contacting you.
Debt collectors cannot:
- Hide their identity as a debt collector
- Call you multiple times per day
- Call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.
- Threaten you with arrest over unpaid debt
- Keep calling after you ask them to stop
- Contact your friends, family, or coworkers about your debt
- Refuse to validate your debt when you request it
Report FDCPA violations to the Federal Trade Commission at 877-382-4357. You can also file complaints through the CFPB website or by calling 855-411-2372.
Request They Stop Calling
Federal law gives you the right to demand they stop calling. You can make this request verbally or in writing.
Keep in mind this only stops phone calls. GLA can still send you letters. They can still sue you if you owe the debt.
Send a Debt Validation Letter
Medical debt is confusing. Insurance coverage isn’t always clear. You need proof that you actually owe this debt.
A Debt Validation Letter forces GLA to prove the debt is yours. They must provide:
- The name of your original creditor
- The date and amount of the original debt
- Your payment history on this account
- The current outstanding balance
- Clear evidence connecting you to the debt
If GLA can’t provide this documentation, they may back off entirely.
Send a Cease and Desist Letter
A Cease and Desist Letter is a formal demand. It tells GLA Collections to stop all contact with you.
The FDCPA makes this letter legally binding. If GLA contacts you after receiving it, you can sue them.
But understand what this letter doesn’t do. It stops the calls, but it doesn’t erase your debt. GLA can still take you to court.
Settle Your Debt
The most permanent solution is resolving the debt completely. You’ll finally stop the calls for good.
Don’t settle until you validate the debt first. Confirm the debt is actually yours. Then you can negotiate a settlement.
Debt collectors often accept less than the full amount. You might start by offering 60% of the balance. Negotiate from there until you reach an agreement.
Getting a settlement in writing protects you. Make sure the agreement states the debt will be considered paid in full.
Respond to Debt Collection Lawsuits
Stopping phone calls doesn’t stop lawsuits. GLA Collections can still sue you over unpaid debt.
If you receive a lawsuit summons, you must respond quickly. You need to file an Answer with the court. Our partner Solo can help you draft and file your Answer.
Some courts give you only 14 days to respond. Missing this deadline means you automatically lose. The court will grant GLA a default judgment.
A default judgment lets GLA garnish your wages. They can freeze your bank account. They can place liens on your property.
Don’t let that happen. File your Answer within the deadline.
Take Back Control of Your Phone
You shouldn’t dread your phone ringing. You have rights under federal law.
Start by validating the debt. Make sure you actually owe it. Report any FDCPA violations to authorities.
If the debt is yours, negotiate a settlement that works for your budget. If you’re sued, respond immediately with a proper Answer.
You can stop these calls. You can resolve this debt. You can move forward with your life.
