Theresa, When you first get to the site, just look off to the right in the blue shaded area and click on the "FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT" link. [FCRA]. Now, for the FDCPA - "Fair Debt Collections Practices Act", just look to the left and click on "FOR CONSUMERS", then click on "CREDIT",then click on "Rules and Acts", now just follow the links to what you want to read. Just takes a little thought, and patience. Good luck.

Thank you Steve for your information. I went to the very detailed website that you told me about, and I could not find the FCRA and the FDCPA.

T, There are several extensive threads here on this site explaining how they operate, and how to deal with them, as well as some very good consumer advocate/complaint sites. Also go to the FTC.gov website and read and print out the FCRA and the FDCPA. While on that site, file complaints online against LBN for the harrassment. Ignore everything but a summons from LBN. They file frivolous lawsuits and just hope for the default. That is thier game. Change your phone number to an unlisted one, and/or send the CEASE COMMUNICATION request as per your rights under the FDCPA.

T, I have beaten these fools. They are total incompetent sleazy monkeys. You cannot ignore them as they file suit and wait for the default. That is thier game. NEVER speak to ANY debt collector on the phone. Change your number to an unlisted one. You can do this for free if you call your phone co and say you are getting threatening or obscene calls from an unknown caller. Or you can send the CEASE COMMUNICATION letter as described in several other posts here on Rip Off report. Statute of limitations on credit card accounts in OK is 3 years, but there is some precedent for them being treated as written contracts which is 5 years. LBN are junk debt buyers and represent primarily JDB's. They have to prove you owe THEM the money. In Ok the max garnishment is 25% of earnings, but you can get that reduced with a hardship case. You have to take a means test. They have to allow for your basic needs, which meand they normally get nothing. If you don't own property or anything, they lose. Love, beal and nixon are lazy and stupid, so they are easy to beat. File a BAR ASSOCIATION complaint on them for the harassment which is illegal, and unethical. Good luck
