Do you owe a debt that a collection agency is determined to collect by fair means or foul? While debt collectors may try to convince you that they hold all the power, the truth is that you enjoy important legal protections as an indebted consumer. To learn more about them, read on.

- Demanding that you pay interest, fees, or costs that are excessive and illegal
- Calling before 8:00 am or after 9:00 pm
- Failing to send a written debt validation notice
