CSD Gives You Advice on Debt Collection

(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- Harassing phone calls and vile threats by a debt collector can be a nerve-wracking experience. Just how far can a bill collector go to get paid?

Find out on Consumer Sense from November 6th through November 15th on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM, November 10th, 11th, 17th and 18th at 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM or daily at 5:00 AM on Cable TAP, Miami-Dade County's community access television channel. Don't have cable TV? The show is also broadcast at the same times on the Internet at www.cabletaptv.com

Consumer Sense, hosted by Consumer Advocate, Leonard Elias, is brought to you by the Miami-Dade County Consumer Services Department (CSD) and the Miami-Dade County Bar Association. To guide you through the legalities of debt collection, Elias is joined on the show by Attorneys Elizabeth Bohn and Jared Beck.

The Cable TAP channel is telecast on all cable television systems in Miami-Dade County.
