Every year the Federal Trade Commission receives complaints about collection agency misconduct. These debt collectors harass consumers in a variety of ways to induce payment, sometimes driving people to file for bankruptcy. If this happens to you, be aware that you have rights and don’t have to tolerate mistreatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA grants consumers the right to dispute a debt and prohibits abusive collection tactics like those below. Any third-party collection agency that uses them faces fines and even license revocation.

• Yelling, swearing, and using language meant to intimidate you
• Refusing or failing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your attorney, and possibly your spouse
• Leaving voice messages that do not identify the collector and the purpose of their call
