Collection agencies frequently use deceptive and otherwise unethical practices to make people pay debts. In many cases, the actions they take are illegal and can leave you so stressed out that you feel as if you are losing control over your life.
If you’re being harassed in this manner, working with a consumer lawyer can help.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
Over 40 years ago, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was passed to curb the aggressive actions of overly zealous debt collectors. It grants you important rights and gives you the legal standing to sue a collection agency that subjects you to the following:
- Threatening you with arrest or with wage garnishment
- Suing you to collect a time-barred debt
- Misrepresenting how much you owe
- Calling your company’s payroll department and requesting information for a “garnishment order”
- Saying they will physically harm you
- Using foul language when they speak to you
