If you are being chased by a collection agency over past-due credit card bills, student loans, and medical debt, it is important to know your rights. Even if you actually owe the money being demanded, you don’t have to put up with harassment. The collectors may try to tell you differently, but the law is in your corner.
Your Rights Under the FDCPA

- Refusing or failing the validate the debt
- Calling you at work after you’ve already told them to stop
