Are you tired of being hounded by relentless calls from LJ Ross Associates? Have their voicemails, threats, or constant interruptions begun to impact your work life, family time, or peace of mind? If so, you may be a victim of LJ Ross Associates phone harassment—and the good news is, you have rights under federal law.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about LJ Ross Associates, what behavior qualifies as harassment, how you can protect yourself, and how the Consumer Rights Law Firm PLLC can help you take action.

Who Is LJ Ross Associates?

LJ Ross Associates is a third-party debt collection agency that often collects debts on behalf of:

Utility companies

Government agencies (such as tolls and taxes)

Healthcare providers

Credit card issuers

Student loan services

They typically contact consumers by phone, mail, and even through automated messages or robocalls. While they are legally allowed to contact individuals about legitimate debts, there are strict federal and state laws that limit what they can say and how often they can call.

When they cross those legal boundaries, it becomes LJ Ross Associates phone harassment, and you can hold them accountable.

What Is LJ Ross Associates Phone Harassment?

The term “harassment” refers to aggressive, annoying, or threatening behavior that goes beyond simple debt collection. Here are the most common types of LJ Ross Associates phone harassment consumers report:

1. Excessive Calls

You may receive several calls a day, often from different numbers or blocked lines. In some cases, calls continue even after you’ve told them to stop.

2. Calls at Inappropriate Hours

Federal law prohibits debt collectors from calling before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. in your time zone. Any calls outside of that window may be illegal.

3. Robocalls and Autodialers

If you’re receiving prerecorded messages or autodialed calls to your cell phone without prior consent, you could be entitled to compensation under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

4. Threatening Language or Misleading Statements

Collectors are not allowed to threaten arrest, lawsuits, wage garnishment, or other actions unless they are legally permitted and intend to follow through. False threats or intimidation are classic signs of LJ Ross Associates phone harassment.

5. Contacting Friends, Family, or Employers

Collectors cannot disclose your debt to anyone except you (or your attorney). Reaching out to others to shame or pressure you is a violation of your privacy rights.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) protects you from abusive and deceptive collection tactics. Here’s what the law guarantees:

No calls before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.

No use of profanity or threats

No contacting third parties (except to obtain contact info)

Must send a written validation notice within 5 days of first contact

Must cease contact if you request it in writing

If LJ Ross Associates violates any of these provisions, you may be entitled to up to $1,000 in statutory damages, plus attorney’s fees and actual damages (such as emotional distress or lost wages).

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)

The TCPA prohibits companies from using auto-dialers, robocalls, or prerecorded messages to contact you on your cell phone without consent. If LJ Ross Associates has contacted you using one of these methods, each call or message could be worth $500 to $1,500 in damages.

LJ Ross Associates phone harassment involving robocalls is one of the most common types of cases we see—and one of the easiest to take action against.

What to Do If You’re Experiencing LJ Ross Associates Phone Harassment

You don’t have to tolerate abusive or illegal behavior. Here’s a step-by-step approach to regaining control:

1. Document Every Interaction

Keep a detailed log of all calls, including:

Date and time of the call

Phone number used

Whether it was a live call or robocall

What was said

Whether threats or aggressive language were used

Also, save voicemails, text messages, letters, and emails.

2. Request Debt Validation in Writing

Within 30 days of first contact, you have the right to ask for proof of the debt. The collector must verify the amount, the original creditor, and their legal right to collect.

If they fail to provide this, further collection efforts may be illegal.

3. Send a Cease-and-Desist Letter

You can legally demand that LJ Ross Associates stop contacting you. Once they receive your written request, they are only allowed to reach out one more time—to confirm they’ll stop or notify you of a lawsuit.

4. Report Them to the Authorities

File complaints with:

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

Your State Attorney General’s Office

The Better Business Bureau (BBB)

These agencies can investigate and fine violators of consumer protection laws.
