When hard times hit, keeping up with your debt payments can be impossible. If a debt collection agency is harassing you by phone, calling you at work after being told to stop, and threatening you with lawsuits when they are trying to collect a debt, you can fight back by suing the debt collector.
Federal law allows for you to recover money when your rights are violated in this manner.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed in 1977 to protect consumers from unfair or abusive debt collection practices. It primarily covers personal, family and household debts and prohibits collection agencies from using ruses like those below to collect a debt.
- Swearing and using profane language
- Discussing the debt with your family, friends, and co-workers
- Pretending to be attorneys or police officers
- Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
- Calling you before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
- Failing to report a debt as disputed to the credit bureaus
